If the idea is to give a â¢oat of paint to the inside of hives for the sake of cleanliness, I may say that I have used, and seen others use, Hall's dis- temper for this purpose.

As to the second part of his letter, please let me advise all those who use metal ends and blocks of wood, etc., for spacing frames, to use their eyes instead, and throw all their ends away. Anyone who has once tried to do without ends will, I am quite sure, be very loath to go back to them. In my opinion they are a nuisance, and quite useless.

A roof should be made of grooved and tongued matching,, well
