Last autumn I placed about 50 lbs. then good fresh honey in a tin. It had been in a " ripener " for a day or two. Some time ago I opened the tin, and found that it had a little sour smell, yet thinking it would pass all right I sent it to a customer })y rail, and by the time it had reached him and been in the house a few days it had fermented very badly, and was quite useless for any ' ordinary use. AVould you jilease tell me if it can be used for any purpose, such as making vinegar or something else?— Cymro. Reply.—The only purpose it is fit for is to make mead or vinegar. TRAxXSFERRING BEES.
