Mr. Dickinson—There are bee-keepers out to learn and we want to teach them to strain. .lames Armstrong—If you have to skim at all why not do with the strainer? Mr. Smith—I believe in skimmin"' and straininji-, but there are lots who do not. Mr. FIxter—One of the best bee-keepers In Russell county does not strain his honey. Mr. McEvoy—A sediment settles. A Member—What you skim off is pollen-grains. Mr. Holtermann—Do not imagine that pollen will float. The specific gravity of this is fjreater than honey, as it will sink. Pros.
