Flurry, fume and pcrtpiration simply show that we have uol lound the right ; T was with fear and trembling that I came lug- ging a self - hiver into the June Re- view, thirty or six- ty days late, when our editor had ar- ranged to finish the discussion in a previous number. I have been os- cillating between two apiaries seven miles apart, running them for extracted honey and increase. It takes four days to do an apiary, and then I fold my tent at two to three o'clock in the afternoon and ar- rive at tiie other apiary an hour or so before sundown. My plan of using the bee escape is to put a dozen in place on the evening of arrival, and wheel the upper stories into the extract- ing room the next morning before break- fast. From then until noon is required to extract this houey and put the combs back on the hives. After dinner the old plan of brushing the bees off the combs is followed, and five or six more stories extracted. If I were in any way rushed, I should use more escapes, and perliaps extract thirty or forty stories in a day, but, as I have never han- dled enough colonies to be rushed, escapes were used merely as an experiment, and, from my little experience, I believe nearly twice as much work can be done with as withoat them.
