Answers.—I. I am not a lawyer, but I'll tell you how the thing looks to me. Call the first renter A, and the second B. If A had taken away all his hives when he left the place, and B had caught the swarm in liis own hive, there would hardly be any ques- tion as to B being the owner of the swarm. The only difference in the actual case is that A'shive was used for a A might claim rent for the hive during the time the swarm was in it. Also B might claim rent for the ground occupied by A's hives. 2. I have made considerable effort to learn just how honey compares with sugar as to sweetness, but never succeeded. Something was given in that direction by the authori- ties at Washington, D. C. but if I remember correctly it was not definite. But I think a pound of honey will do no more sweetening than a pound of sugar, if as much. Miscellaneous 1.

Also where they could buy sup- plies say about 5 percent above cost? The warehouse should be centrally located near water and railroad, so as to reduce the cost of sending. 2. How much do bee papers pay for a word or line for articles? 3. When sending bees from the South to the North in early spring, say about April i, why not get a comb of pollen and put it in a strong colony ? There are train loads of pollen going to waste
