The ABC of bee culture: a cyclopaedia of every thing pertaining to the care of the honey-bee; bees, honey, hives, implements, honey-plants, etc., facts gleaned from the experience of thousands of bee keepers all over our land, and afterward verified by practical work in our own apiary. Bee culture. HORSEMINT. 152 HYBRIDS. as probably nearly all will have their own way. I prefer the A. I. Root cans for storing honey, and the Novice extractor. By placing a cloth over the top of these cans, the honey ripens nicely in this warm room, even if the combs are not fully sealed when extracted. With a description of howl store my combs, which are used for extracting purposes, I will close this al- ready too long article. As you are building your honey-room, have the studding on one side set just as far apart as the top-bar of your frame is long; not from center to center of studding, but leave that space between each. Now nail strips of % stuff, 2'i feet long by 5 inches wide to these stud- ding, letting them stand out into the room in a hori- zontal position. Let the distance between each strip from top to top be 1 inch greater than the depth of your frame, so as to give sufficient room to manipu- late the frames handily. Three inches from the ends of these strips run a partition clear across the room, which is to have close-fitting, narrow doors placed in it, spaced so as to be most convenient. Now hang in your combs; see that all combs not in use are in their place, and not lying about some- where else. As often as any signs of worms are found, put in a pot of burning sulphur; close the doors and the work is done. In all this work with burning sulphur, make certain that nothing can by any means take fire from it before you place the Are to the sulphur, for a room full of sulphur fumes is a bad place to go to, to put out a fire.
