. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. March 30, 1905. THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 247 Is an absorbent on top of the hive necessary for safe wintering ? Yes, especially outdoors. Does not the lack of a fall honey-flow account for the loss of bees in winter ? Yes, even if the bees are fed for winter stores. Which is the better for marketing dark extracted honey —barrels or cans ? Barrels for manufacturers, and cans for retailing to families. Should Wisconsin establish an Apiarian Experiment Station ? Yes. As to putting bees out of the cellar at night or in the day- time, IS voted for the day and 4 for the night. As to using full sheets of foundation in the sections, some suggested that it caused a midrib in the honey, and interfered with its sale. Some thought that the foundation sometimes used was too thick, and that the very thinnest should be put in sections. Can foul brood be carried by queens in the mails 7 Yes, and no. Not by the queen, but by the honey in the cage. It was advised to throw away the cage in which the queen arrived, transferring her into a new cage in which to intro- duce her. Would you recommend feeding artificial pollen in the spring ? Yes, if there was no natural pollen when needed. What is the condition of foul brood throughout the State of Wisconsin ? Pres. France reported that there was still some in perhaps 4 or S counties. If its importation from other States could be prohibited it would very soon be all wiped out. A vote of thanks was tendered Pres. France for his good work as State Inspector of Apiaries. How do you free melted honey from air-bubbles 7 Let it stand a while after bottling. What is the best kind of soil in which to build a bee- cellar 7 It depends upon the location. A cellar in sandy soil will winter bees best.
