MetiUon the Anwriam lice Journals will keep open every crack, hole or space in the hive lar(?e enough for a bee to pass through, no matter whether It is in the front, side or back of the hive, and will glue up every crevice about the hive not large enough to pass through. The same rule applies generally to the inside of the hive, so if the sections rest flat on slats, or anything else, the bees will glue up tij;ht all around the sections and keep open a bee-space in the lower part of the sections. I have had full supers, where the sections rest on slats, that not one of the combs was In any way fastened to the bottom of the sec- tions—a thing that has seldom occurred where there was a space between the top of the brood-frames and the sections. It seems they will have traveling-room either under the sections or through the sections from one to another. Bees are a small people, but they know how to protect themselves against ants and other small Insects, by stopping up every crevice with bitter glue, that nothing wants to eat into. They seem to think that wherever there is space enough for them to go through they can take care of their enemies, and where they can't go through they close it up tight. H. P. WiLLSON. Perabiua Co.
