On page 573 there is either a mis- print, or else I made a blunder. I in- tended to say that I had no friendly feeling for those bee-keepers who knowingly keep bees diseased with foul brood, or who report through the press that bee-keepers manufacture comb honey, and fill and cap it over. Nor for that class of people who adul- terate honey by combining it with glu- cose, then label and sell it for pure honey.

In my report of July 30, page 574, there is an error in the amount of honey taken off at that time. If I said sections I meant supers. Since that time I have taken off 10 more supers. I have 61 sections on at present, and if conditions hold out I think they will be ready to come off at the end of the month, wh
