Many attempts have been made to
properly prepare this solution without
boiling in a tank. Many failures, in
my Judgment can be traced to this
effort to get around boiling in tank.
Some claim that the heat generated by
shaking the lime will sufficiently boil

done. but l am perfectly satisfied that
oftentimes the mixture is not properly
combined. A man who has an orchard

Some questions are often asked
about this matter of spraying for the

of these questions is, are there any
ready-made solutions that can be used
without the necessity of making the
preparation above mentioned? l do
not know I doubt if any solution can
be furnished ready made that can be

wooden frame, and one or all the
combs can be lifted out Of the hive
and returned at WILL and this is true
Of all movable-frame hives. The
frame used in the dovetailed hive
is called the Langstroth frame and is
17ss inches long and 9M inches deep,
outside measure.
For the production of extracted
honey, q ten-frame hive is best. For
comb honey 1t is also best, except for
those who pay great deal Of atten-
ton to their bees. Such persons may
do as we'll or better with an eight
frame hive, but for those who have
only few colonies and do not expect
to spend much time with them, a hive
so small as one having only eight
frames is not to be thought of. Too
much danger that the bees will be
scarce of stores and starve In winter
or spring.
Another reason why the larger hive
Is better for the average farmer Is
that bees are not so much given to
swarming where they are In large
hives. However desirous you may be
now to have your colonies swarm SO
as to increase the number of colonies,
you may rest assured that the time
will come when you will be still more
anxious that your bees shall not
swarm. Every swarm that issues
means just so much cutting down Of
the honey crop for the current year.
