Gleanings in bee culture . ted. Ihave found that the surest way to extermi-nate foul brood is to shake the bees as soonas the disease is discovered. About one hundred colonies is all thatcan be successfully operated in one loca-tion in this locality. I am acquainted withbeekeepers wlw insist on overstocking theirlocality by keeping several hundred coloniesin one apiaiy, and consequently get a veiysmall average per colony; whereas if theywould divide them into several yards ofabout one hundred each they would realizea handsome profit for the extra work thatwould be required to manipulate them.

Clarksville, N. Y. PREVENTING SWARMING BY PUTTING BROOD ABOVE AN EXCLUDER BY DANIEL DANIELSEN I run five outyards for extracted honey,and I prevent swarming by raising broodover queen-excluders and leaving the queenbelow on empty combs as often as she gets the hive full of brood. Of tlie beesraise cells above the excluders; but thatseems to make no difference so far asswarming is concerned. GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. One of Daniel Danielsons oiityards showing protection of roofing paper. Sometimes I make an entrance in theback part between the stories for ventila-tion, and they thus get a laying queen inthe upper story. If so, I put the old queenon the new stand and put the young queendown, and that ends all swarming. 1 dont see how any one can run outyardsfor comb honey unless he visits and over-hauls them at least once a week. To keepbees from swarming, plenty of room isneeded in the brood-nest and super, andthat is a hard problem in comb honey. Brush, Col. PRODUCING COMB HONEY IN OUT-APIARIES Disease Broke up the Celebrated Let-alone System BY ALLEN LATHAM The statement on page 218, that AllenLatham holds the imaginary cup for oper-ating bees on the let-alone plan needs acorrection in tense.
