I once, when even greener than now, put on a lot of sections I had no market for—not as baits, but thinking the bees would keep it better than I could, and faintly hoping they would take it out and rejuvenate it. Queer looking stuff when I took it off the second time. Dingy, and fired full of empty cells here and there. What About Boiling Sdg.\r ? In Miss Wilson's answer. No. 4, page 778, we read, "Boiling does not change ; Say, rather, Boiling gently for a short time changes sugar but little. I think the chemists claim that boiling does greatly change sugar if you boil it long enough and furiously enough. Or did I dream that ? Orange Trees and Apple Trees. Hello, orange tree ! If you are a champion tree you are good evidence that the orange does not grow as big as the apple. Nobody would be surprised at an apple tree of your size. (Outside of No. 46.) The Government and Caucasian Queens. That Government circular on the free distribution of Caucasian queens is admirable. At last Uncle Sam seems to be doing himself proud in helping apiculture. Now, most of us don't want Caucasian bees. The bees we have are the bees we want. Scarce a glimmer of a chance that Caucasians will make more beautiful sections of honey than select Germans do, or store extracted honey swifter than select Italians, Carniolans or German-Italian hybrids. Many of us would like a few to tinker with and be interested in. But to all people keeping bees in cities and towns they are likely to prove a very great boon—if something near equal to those named above. Neighbors will be at peace if they are assured that a new kind of bee that pretty nearly can't be made to sting is the only bee kept. And a host of would-be amateurs can with Caucasians im- prove their minds and their health. The grand trouble is that unsupervised breeders will send out hybrids
