Peculiarly-Shaped Cells.—We bave now before us about one dozen different specimens of comb that have been cut out. These vary in size from four inches square to half the size of an ordinary comb. In these pieces there are a large number of cells of almost every imaginable shape, some oblong, a few hexagonal, and some V-shaped; some have three sides, the ordinary hexagonal shape, the other three made with two forming a V running off to a sharp point; some are formed somewhat like a V. then others are as perfectly square as the bees could make them, and not a few are triangular; some are five-sided, some are nearly round, some heart-shaped, in fact we could hardly think of a shape that might not be found in some of the pieces. The square cells are in perfect rows two inches in width, and six or more in length, nearly all perfectly square. Most of these different cells had brood in them, and we have not been able to detect any difference between he bees hatched in these peculiar-shaped cells and those hutched in the ordinary ones.—Canadian Ben Journal.
