ssoon as the queen is in the hive, close theentrance to the crevice of the rock tightlyto prevent any bees from getting in. In a day or two open it again; and if a littlehoney is thrown inside, the bees will soonbegin to carry all of the honey from the oldcombs into the hive.Simi, Cal. -^ «■ -• BEES ON COMB PHOTOGRAPHED BY H. C. SHORT This photograph of bees on a comb wastaken during the fall honey flow whenevery available cell was crowded withhoney. Most of the bees ran around onthe shaded side of the comb while the cam-era was being focused. The queen found an empty cell and laidan egg in it while I was getting ready. Twaited patiently, but she would not do itagain. I shall try again next year aiul hopeto have better success. Winchester, O. (We know by exi)erience how diflicult itis to get a good picture of bees on a comb,and we wish to say that our correspondenthas done a splendid piece of work in pro-ducing this picture. Can you find the()ueen?—Kd.) Gleanings in Bee Culture

An apiary of 11 colonies near Cincinnati that produced ^2 barrels of honey last year. BEEKEEPING AROUND CINCINNATI BY REV. B. R. WAGNER Cincinnati is no mean city, even if is di-vided by rivers and ao imaginary State line.We are not very far from the center ofpopulation of the United States nor fromthe center of the bee business. Here Mr.C. F. Muth originated his famous roof apiary.He loved bees so much that he kept themnext to his sleeping-room. Hamilton, O., isjust twenty miles away, where Rev. !>. L.Langstroth lived, reasoned, experimented,and wrote; and sixty miles away his sacredashes rest in Woodland Cemetery, Dayton. In regard to bee forage, I believe we aremost favorably situated. The many littlevalleys running into the Ohio River; themarshes, the steep hillsides, many coveredwith nectar-yielding trees, and at the sametime yellow clover, sweet clover, whiteclover, smartweed, wild cucumber, etc.,making our territory almost a paradise forthe real lover of bees. Cincinnati, O.
