To the minds of those who think the prevention of killing of more consequence than the saving of warmth, that gives the Hoffman the preference over the closed-end frame, while it has still all the advantage of self-spacing. Mr. Latham seems to have these things in mind, at least part of the time, but singularly enough closes his eyes to the kiUingdisadvantage in the closing question. To be entirely fair, his question should have been, "Why get all the advantages, "it'l also all the diaadvantagei^r^ The answer is that the full advantage of self- spacing is left in the Hoffman, and the other advantage of the closed end is overbalanced by its disadvantage. Speaking of the closed-end frame, Mr. Latham says: " And right here let me say that it will not cause the death of any more bees than will the wide bottom-bars which some of our sages are ; Which one i<i our sages is advocating a close-fitting bottom-bar; Or does he mean that they kill bees in some other way?

I increased to 112 colonies, andS nuclei, and harvested 7400 pounds of ho[i';y, nearly 4000 pounds being in 1-pound bcrtibns, and the balance ex- tracted. I hiivo sold about -SoSO worth, and have about 20i' pounds on hand. I have lO;! <olonies in chaff hives on the summer stand- and 8 colonies and S nuclei in. EVERGREENS ifores
