If I am correct, this whole idea of producing section honey without sep- arators originated with the idea that bees will store more honey in a super without separators than they will store in the same super with separators. But just how much more I have never heard any one attempt to say. I used to think just that way myself, but after 30 years of close watching, and trying the two plans side by side, / cannot tell how much more; but, my candid opin- ion is, that there might possibly be this difl:erence ; only 499 pounds being stored ivilh the use of separators as against 500 pounds where separators Mr;v tiot used.

If I were so minded I might advertise to sell a secret for one dollar, " How to cure the ; I would be compelled to state, though, that the cure would not be permanent in all cases, and could not be applied at all seasons.

It is this : Hard work in a bee-yard in hot weather, with more work than you can get through with, and many stings, the latter being especially good; and the hotter the weather the quicker the fever will abate. For myself, I have a recurrence of the disease every winter, and no cure for it until the season arrives when 1 can procure the above presciption.
