Thave been i thinking- for some time of writing an arti- cle for the Re- view, but, after reading M. P. Cady's article in the January issue, I about gave it up; for the reason that he said a good many things that I had in mind. However, I would like to sound a note of warning to those who are becom- ing, perhaps, a little too enthusiastic over the bulk comb honey business. I refer to those who are intending to give it a trial the coming season. I am not going to say whether it is "the thing," or vice versa, only, as 1 said, to caution those who, perhaps, are a little too sanguine in their undertakings. I have been a little too hasty, at times, myself, the same as that grand old man, Dr. Miller, who owns up to being a little too sanguine at times (Page 135, r'orty Years Among the Bees.) Let me quote his words: "Go ; If you are producing bulk comb honey, and it is a success with you. finding a market for all you produce, and are in a locality with a succession of short flows, stay right by it. On the other hand, if you are in a good, white, comb honey locality with a good flow, people always using comb honey, or perhaps, more properly speaking, "section honey," better "go slow;" or, perhaps, "if you don't watch out," you may find, like M. P. Cady, that it's no go. In my immediate vicinity, or, I may say, in the State of Iowa, I never expect to see it make much headway; and I will make this assertion that it will never become popular with the city trade. I would like to say, also, in passing, that there is the biggest chance for deception in bulk comb honey of any honey produced; and, for that very reason, if for no other, it will never become popu- lar with commission firms, wholesalers, or any one buying in large quantities.
