Grading by Pictures—In Gleanings in Bee-Culture is given a picture of the grading adopted by New York bee- keepers. Three sections are shown, showing respectively ///£" poorest allowed in the three different grades. None of them have any cells sealed next to the vfood. Aside from the cells next the wood, the fancy section has 9 unsealed cells. No. 1 has 43, and No. 2 has 68. Bosnian Bees are now on the market. Bosnia is in southern Austria, and the bees are described in Schles. Imker as very hardy, making successful cleansing flights at lower temperature than other bees. They begin work earlier and close later than other bees, so reaping larger harvests. The workers are smaller than other bees, and gentler than the gentlest Carniolans. But new things do not always live up to their promises. A Woman's Plan to Avoid Lifting.—Mrs. A. J. Barber is the woman, and she tells about it in Gleanings in Bee- Culture. A little platform big enough to hold a super has casters under it and is put on the wheelbarrow. On this she puts one or more supers and wheels it to the honey- house, where the little platform can be rolled off the wheel- barrow onto a sort of floor in front of the door so made that no lifting is needed to push it right into the honey-house.
