In'this a capped cell is placed that is within two or three days of hatching. Tliis cell is protected by means of a cell-protector. In this compartment the young queen is ferti- lized, and at the proper time after the old queen has been removed, the nucleus with the young queen and the full colony are united by means of a small round hole in the tight di\ision-board. Comb-Honey Carriers Made Too Strong Mr. Henry Trickey entertains views that are widely at variance with those generally entertained, but, as he pre- sents them, they are at least worth thinking over. The following is from Gleanings in Bee Culture: Mr. Trickey produces comb honey; and when we asked him if the distance which ht liad to ship his product to the market was not quite a problem, he replied. " No. sir. It depends upon the amount of handling which the honey receives as to how much it is dam- aged, and not upon thedistance it is carried. Comb honey may be just as badly broken up in 10 miles as in a thousand, if it is not prop- erly packed and if it is improperly handled by the railroad men. A good many have a WTong notion in regard to the crates or car- riers. Bee-keepers often come to me and say that they are going to have the crates made stronger and heavier so as to with- stand the hard usage. Now. they say that, because they have not given the matter suffi- cient thought. A strong, heavy carrier may not be broken
