Stachelhausen (Tex.)—Honey is a saccharine matter of nat- ural source, gathered, modified, and stored in the comb by honey-bees. Rev. M. Mahin (Ind.)—A sweet,, thick fluid manufactured mainly from the nectar of flowers by the bees and deposited in waxen comb-cells usually in hives. E. Whitcomb (Nebr.)—Nectar gathered by bees, stored and evap- orated by the general process until it will keep after being sealed over by them. Otherwise it is not truly " honey ". C. Davenport (SJinn.)—Certainly nectar gathered by bees from flowers and plants. Perhaps it should be broader than this, and in- clude any sweet liquid gathered by bees from flowers, plants, and trees. Aethub C. Millbb (R. I.)—The nectar of flowers, converted, thickened and stored by the bees. Possibly it might be well to add '• sealed ", as often unsealed " honey " is little more than raw nectar. Eugene Secor (Iowa)—A sweet, watery fluid gathered by bees from various natural sources, chiefly from the nectaries of flowers, deposited by them in honey-comb cells, and ripened to the proper consistency. P. H. Elwood (N. y.)—Honey is that saccharine part of vegeta- tion stored by the honey-bee—principally the nectar of flowers, with the larger portion of the cane-sugar changed to grape sugar in the process of storage. R. L. Taylor (Mich.)—Honey is a saccharine, viscid substance made by bees, by evaporation and other manipulations, from sweetish liquids already gathered from different sources, but chiefly from the nectaries of flowers.
