If +he movement is only a short one, the work should be carried out in the evening, and done with as little jarring of the hive as possible. The Swiss entrance should be closed, or a handker- chief lightly stuffed in at the entrance will prevent the bees flying out. For carrying, a couple of pieces of stout wood, about 7 ;long, should be slipped underneath the hive, so that two persons can carry it quite comfortably, sedan-chair fashion. Do not try to carry more than one hive at a time, or yet rush the job by using a wheelbarrow, or disaster mav follow by upsetting the hives. The jolting of a wheel- barrow is also likely to disturb the bees too much. WANTED, a " Little Goliath " or similar Lathe cheap.—W. HERROD-HEMPSALL, Old Bedford Road, Luton.
