Robinson, of CarroUton, Ga., writes that he has "sugared" honey in the outside frames of his brood-chambers, and wants to know whether to cut it out and put starters in the frames and let the bees build comb in them again, or leave these combs as they are. I have had considerable honey gran- ulate in the combs of weak colonies during the winter, but on my first round in the spring I would use such solid combs in equalizing stores; that is, I would give these to stronger colo- nies that might need stores. Soon afterwards I would see some dry grains of sugar about the entrance or on the bottom-board, but soon this disappears as also does the granulated honey. They consume it. If this honey is left with the weaker colonies,-it is almost sure to cause dwindling, and in many cases the loss of colonies. When such combs once get cold in the winter they resist heat, and are almost like frames of ice in weak colonies. They cause a damp cold atmosphere which is sure to cause dwindling. So it is best to remove them as soon as possible and give them to stronger colonies.

In case the bees are run for extracted honey, nothing is paid the renter for in- crease; he furnishes containers for his half of the honey, and ships out my half as I send him orders.
