Master, of Morton Grange, Thornbury, Gloucester, has invented a the glass cover, and the bees will once more have free entry into the box. According to the sample sent to us for inspection and as shown in the drawing, the entrance to the bee escape a is always open, land it appears to us that the candy granules will tend to choke the escape. As the escape is only required when the hole b is closed, it might be an advantage to so construct the slide c that it covers the escape entrance when the hole h is open and uncovers it when the hole h is closed. Or possibly a separate slide could be provided for controlling the entrance to the The Master Candy Feeding Box. new appliance, of which we give an illus- tration. It consists of a candy feeding box having a bottom fitted with a Porter bee escape a and formed with a hole h that is controlled by a slide c. Extend- ing across the box above the bottom are lengths of wire d adapted to support a cake of candy, and a glass cover e is arranged to slide in grooves formed in the walls of the box. The appliance is particularly suitable for use by inexperienced persons, and will, no doubt, be welcome to nervous bee- keepers, for one can see at once when a fresh cake of candy is required, and by manipulating the slide c so as to close the hole b, which is, of course, normally open to allow bees access to candy in the box, the bees will in due course pass down through the bee escape a, and when all the bees have in this way left the box the glass
