Gleanings in bee culture . ASPINWALL HIVE DISSECTED—MR. BURT STANDING IN THE BACKGROUND. 400 GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. Mar. 15. THE ASPINWALL HIVE IN THE APIARY OF VEKNON BUKT. moved. Just why this should operate toprevent this I have not been able to under-stand fully; but after two or three seasonsof test, Mr. Aspinwall has found he has beenable not only to increase his honey crop butat the same time prevent swarming. Quite a number now of prominent bee-keepers are testing this hive; for it should beunderstood that Mr. Aspinwall is not offer-ing it for sale, as he wishes to test it thor-oughly, and when he is sure of what it willdo in the hands of bee-keepers in differentlocalities under different ccmditious he willthen be prepared to place it on the market,provided, of course, it meets the expectationsof himself and friends. We expect to testmore of these hives this coming summer;and, while we are making no claims for it,we know that Mr. Burt tried faithfully toforce a swarm out of his hive, and failed en-tirely. Under the conditions of a naturalhoney-tiow—not too heavy, but just enoughto get bees excited
