I presume you mean to ask if the progeny of a hybrid queen can or does show a mixed lot of bees, some hav- ing the markings of black bees, and others the yellow markings common to hybrids, all from the same colony.

. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 549 your brood-chamber is too large, as ?well as too deep. One thousand square inches of comb is plenty, ami only 700 in a reversible hive does re- markably well on trial.— 1. I presume you mean to ask if the progeny of a hybrid queen can or does show a mixed lot of bees, some hav- ing the markings of black bees, and others the yellow markings common to hybrids, all from the same colony. If so, 1 answer yes. See answer to Query, No. 297. 2. Ten frames. Your hive would not Suit me, but one will fet used to any sort of frame and hive, prefer the standard Laugstroth frame, which is 17%x9i^s inches.—G. W. Demaree. 1. Not unless the queen has been changed. In colonies that are well mixed with black bees some workers may look like good Italians. Again a very little black admixture will show in some of tlie bees wanting the three bands. 2. The worst feature of your frame is its oddity. The Langstroth frame is the best, as so many are in use;.—A. J. Cook. 1. Yes, in color. 2. Nine frames. I find by careful inquiry, and from statistics gathered at our State con- ventions, that more bee-keepers use a frame nearer liixH inches than any other size.—II. D. Cutting. 1. Yes. 2. Ten. Not for James. Were I going to establish a standard frame for one-story brood-chambers, I should make it ij^ inches shallower than the standard Langstroth frame now is.—James Heddon. 1. No sir ! except that some of the worker progeny of an impurely mated queen mav be found as black as are any black bees. 2. If it is desired to devote the lower story to biood en- tirely, ten frames should be used, spaced just bee-space apart, if it is desired to have stores placed below as well as brood, use nine frames. So far as frames are concerned, I prefer the Langstroth frame; others, deeper frames. The rule is, I take it, that the frame one is accustomed to, will be the one he prefers.—, Jr. Convention Notices. ly
