No. 3 had an opening at the usual place for the entrance in front No 4 has its entrance at the back. After I changed to 8-frame hives. I used 3 nuclei in a hive, a t-frame nucleus in the renter with an entrance at the back, and at each side a nucleus of 2 frames, sometimes 3. with entrances in front, at each end. But of late I have mostly used a full hive for each nucleus, generally having 3 frames in a hive, although someiicnes 2. and sometimes 4 or more. 'I'hat made it easier to build up each one into a full colony than to have more than one nucleus in a hive. I think bee-keepers generally use their regular hives for nuclei, except those who make a business of rearingqueens to sell. You will find it easier to get your combs built out in good shape for cells if you have them built in nuclei rather than strong colonics. Still, you can get just as good cells with combs built as yours were. The Foul-Brood Law Is it a fact that one of the greatest aims of the present foul-brood law is to get rid of the farmer bee keeper and have bee-keeping go into the hands of specialists and raise the price of honey ? Illinois. Answer.—I think 1 am quite familiar with all the arguments that have been used in favor of securing foul-brood laws, both in this country and other countries, and in no single instance have I ever heard it suggested that a foul brood law would get rid of the farmer bee-keeper. I have heard it sug- gested that supply dealers wanted a foul- brood law so that hives of diseased colonies would be destroyed and new hives might be bought. I need not tell you what a foolish idea that is. It certainly cannot keep com- pa
