If it can be kept warmed for a few weeks at lOU' to 120'-', that may im- prove its flavor, and if conditions are favorable for evapora- tion it will certainly improve its consistency, for sour honey means thin honey. It may, and it may not, be an easy thing to keep it properly warmed for a sufficient length of time, and another plan may be taken, providiug the honey has granu- lated with coarse grains.

Bingham, protests against such advice, as reported on page 85, and it may be well to advise agaiust having honey that by any possibility can be drained, but the fact remains that there are tons upon tons of such houey, and it isn't a bad thing to know what to do with it.

I don't care to have the work done in one day, for I have time to do it, if there is any other successful way to do it. 2. Have you any idea how you would manage to move about 30 colonies of bees and fixtures, household furniture, horses, etc., 150 miles by freight'? and at what time of the year? Just three weeks before last Christmas, I was on a freight-car loaded with household furniture, horse and buggy, dog and
