Excerpt from The Bee-Keepers' Review, Vol. 10: January 10, 1897 It should be understood that success attendant upon clipping is contingent upon having none but pure drones in the apiary containing the young queens, also that the amount clipped from each wing be uniform, otherwise with a lack of balancing power the queens are sure to be lost. I am so well satisfied with past results that I expect to clip all my young queens the coming season. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Bee-Keepers Review, Vol. 5: Jan. 10, 1892 The tenderfoot knows so little about the West, and so many are taken in by boom papers and boom articles that I have tried to show it up as near the truth as possible. Coe made a mistake when he came here from New York. Not so much because he came to the alfalfa region, but because he had no conception of the conditions. He said he had no idea the flow was so s'harp and short. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Bee-Keepers' Review, Vol. 7: Jan. 10, 1894 Take one item. For myself I have become more and more impressed with the impor tance of a thorough knowledge of founda tions designed for use in sections for the production of comb honey. Much has been guessed but so far as I can learn little is yet known on this subject. In the experiment of which I recently gave an account one of the objects aimed at was to determine if possible if there was a difference among them and if so what kind was of such a nature as to enable the bees to work it down most nearly to the thinness and character of natural comb. To me the results were very satisfactory and encouraging and this not because one kind was shown to be better than another but because it appeared that a meth od had been hit upon by which the relative value of foundations could be practically determined. But this it seems is only a be ginning. Now that a door is open many other questions come up at the very three hold and press for a solution. What makes the difference among found ltds Is it the character of the machine used in making or the character of the wax or is it the method of the dealing with the w-x? Then if comb from foundation is made as thin as the natural comb, is it still more tenacious or is it equally friable and tender? Again it is well understood that the natural comb is not composed entirely of wax but that other substances are combined with the wax. Can any th'ng be done to imitate the natural comb in this, and so make foundation even less subject to the charge of being an adul. Teration than it is at present This suggests the matter of economy of wax in the use of foundation thus: What is the per cent. Of '3 wax wasted, not to say worse than wasted, when so made into foundation that the septa of comb resultingis 60 per cent. Thicker than the septa of natural comb or to put it in another way If foundation whose septa the bees will work down to a thickness of 90 of an inch is worth 600. What is that worth whose septa the bees wil work down to a thickness of 60 of an inch Prob ably from twenty-five to forty per cent. Mo e. If a man needs much foundation this should touch him at the tenderest point. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
