I use a heavyenamel basin, costing 20 cts. here, 10 cts. inRochester. I have eight of these feeders. Iuse a waxed float made of jig-inch materia)(wood). Fig. one hive, while using this feeder I had 170 GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. Feb. 1 placed a nucleus, which robbers got wellstarted in; but they took no notice of thelower hive, nor did they crawl or fly aboutthe feeder, which can not be said of theBoardman feeder nor the leaky division-board feeder; and, further, my feeder is all in-side; and if the syrup is carefully poured in,there is nothing to attract the In order to have this feeder slide underthe hive I had to add a IJ-inch strip on bothsides of the Danz. bottom-board side railsF, Fig. 3. This enables it to pass clear ofthe hive-stand, and gives me a winter side(which I am obliged to have) in winteringin my cellar, as the Danz. opening is notenough. When we leave the capacity of a stimula-tive feeder, I cant see why we should notuse the Miller size. You will see by myDanz. feeder that I can replace it by theregular bottom-boards at any time by simplysliding them in in its place. Clarkson, N. Y. [The feeder here shown would undoubted-ly give good results. One would have to be a sort of carpenter, however, to rig up some-thing of this nature. An oidinary personwould not be able to make a close enoughfit so that the slide-board containing the panwould work free without hitching or catch-ing.—Ed.] . ? ??««»?« THE NEW PURE-FOOD LAAV.
