Please have a few responsible bee- keepers reply to this : Can more honey be produced with plain sections and fences than with the old style sections ? If so, why ? To the point—no hedging around.

Last year was such a poor season here that I did not think it worth while to report. Our bees wintered well, with scarcely any loss, and came out in the spring very strong. I now have 24 colonies, two natural and four arti- ficial swarms. I am Italianizing as fast as I can. The bees are storing some honey in the super
