. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. September, 1913 American Hee Jonrnal it on the old stand with the mother close beside it. Then a week or so later move the mother to a new ; TH.\T INDIGESTIBLE In the interesting article by C. P. Greening, page 274, the second para- graph is liliely to excite unusual at- tention. He gives three points in his method. One is a bit puzzled to un- derstand just what is meant in his first point, where he says: "First, teach your customers that they are getting more sweet by eating extract- ; If it were not for his third point, one would understand that to mean that one gets more honey for one's money when buying extracted honey than when buying comb. But that can hardly be the meaning, for that's his third point, where he says, "Again, the customer gets per cent more weight of clear honey for a dollar than he would ; His first and third points would hardly be identical, so the first must mean something else. Does it mean that extracted honey is sweeter than comb honey? that he can eat more extracted honey than comb? or what does it mean? The claim that more honey can be had for the money by buying it in the extracted form is a legitimate one, and worth pushing, and it seems Mr. Greening might make the claim a lit- tle stronger than he does. It is true that there are some who sell extract- ed honey at the same price as comb, but they are few. Much mors com- monly it is the case that where a cus- tomer pays 25 cents for a section of honey he can buy a 5 pound can of honey at 15 cents a pound. If the net weight of the honey in the can is 5 pounds, then he buys at the rate of 6 2-3 pounds of honey for a dollar. That section for which 25 cents was paid does not weigh as much as a pound — perhaps 14% ounces — and when the weight of the wood and wax is deducted the clear honey may weigh 13 ounces. So the 4 sections he gets for a dollar net him 52 ounces of honey, or 314 pounds. C
