Query 855.—If 75 colonies is the rigiit number for my range when run for extracted honey, how many should I keep if 1 work them for comb honey ?—Nebraska. 100.—James A. Green. Not many more.—M.

Hambaugh. I don't think it would make any differ- ence about the number of bees.—E. France. From 100 to 150—or as many more as yoxi can well take care of.—Will M. Barnum. If for the former you have combs, and for the latter foundation, I should guess you might keep 100 or 110.—R. L. Taylor. Theory says 25 per cent, more, but here in Nebraska we are more sure of such matters after making a test of it. —Mrs. J. N. Heater. I see no reason why there should be any difference. But I cannot find room here to discuss a matter of so much breadth.—G. W. Demaree. I don't see any reason why more or less than this number should be kept. That is to say, I don't think it makes any difference whether extracted or comb honey surplus is being worked for. —J. E. Pond. I do not think it makes much differ- ence whether run for comb or extracted honey. My theory is that the bees will gather about the same, the difference in yield being consumed in comb building. —C. H. DiBBERN. I can only state my belief in answer to this query, and that is that I think that 75 colonies run for comb honey would be capable of carrying in just as much nectar as the same number of colonies run for extracted honey.—G. L. Tinker. I don't think any one can tell what is the
