Good .judgment and that sort of care that every modern apiarist ought to have in his business, is all that is neces- sary, when manipulating bees for the purposes mentioned in the queries. EmersonT. Abbott—1. Ido not know. I have a way of moving them around whenever occasion demands, and I will make a guess that it is perfectly safe to do so when it is warm enough for bees to fly comfortably. 2. I should not expose young brood to the direct rays of the sun very long. Chas. Dadant & Son—1 and 2. We have never had any trouble, and yet we know of having kept such comb exposed to the air at 65 J or 75- for 5 or 10 min- utes. _ We would not expose combs un- necessarily, but would not stop from manipulations in ordinary bee-flying weather, on that score. Dr. A. B. Mason—1. Eggs and larvae can be safely expos3d to a much higher degree of heat than 853 without being injured, and also to 2U- less than 85''. Sealed queen-cells can be exposed to both higher and lower temperature than can eggs and larvse, without Injury. 2. Not if not too hot, nor too cold. J. M. flambaugh—1. I have always considered 70° safe for exposure of brood, and I believe no bad results would occur from 68° for a two-minute exposure; 85° is surely unnecessarily high. 2. Direct reflection of the sun's rays upon unsealed brood Is dangerous, though a moment might not hurt. J. A. Stone—1. I do not know, and consequently took no chances. When compelled to handle, if cool, I exposed them as little as
