My advice is, to render the wax somewhere else.—James Heddon. 1. To say the least, you run too much i-isk—more than any one who is not anxious to become belter ac- quainted with the disease can aftbrd to run. 2. Do not bring them any nearer your ajjiary than they are, un- til they are thoronghly boiled ; and even that is not entirelj' safe, if the person who does the work is to be near your bees soon afterward.—R. L. Taylok. I should think that it would be pos- sible to box the combs so closely that no bees could get at them, and every- thing could be so carefully conducted tliat there would be no danger to your bees. But why not render the wax on the premises where the disease ex- ists ?—G. W. Demakee. 1. Foul brood is so insiduous, and so easily carried from one hive to another, that it is dangei'ous to fool with it at all. Let it alone severely ; that is, do not procure any comb or bees from an)f apiary where the least suspicion of the disease exists. An ounce of pre- vention is worth many pounds of cure.—J. E. Pond. 1. I do not know what a Gary wax press is, and I would have nothing to do with the combs unless it was desir- able to get them out of the way so that j'our own bees would not get to the combs. 2. You cannot be too careful. Do not run any risks. It has cost Mr. A. I. Root over $1,000, and a few years ago it cost me from $300 to $500 in one season. Do not let your bees touch the combs. Boil them, and evei'j'thing about them that can be boiled, and wash you hands and everything that can
