Ils essaiment parce qu'ils sont trop nombreux pour leur demeure. Ils se multiplient très rapidement. Elle s'appuie trop peu comb. Si elle a vraiment trop d'essaims il est évident qu'elle doit bâtir combs rapidement, pour l'une ne peut aller sans l'autre. Il est facile de trouver des défauts.

Tunis. home; the bees make much noise, but give trouble to neither man nor beast. She swarms too much. That is be- cause the hives are both too shallow and too narrow. They swarm because they are too numerous for their abode. They multiply very fast. She builds too little comb. If she really swarms too much it is evident that she must build combs rapidly, for the one cannot go without the other. It is easy to find fault. But I hope, in the last of my articles, to show her good points. Meanwhile, I trust the readers will peruse in an impartial spirit what I will have to say further upon this important question. Nabeul, Tunis. [Mr. Lenoel, the writer of the above, comes to us well recommended. It is a hard task to fight for an already con- demned cause. We bespeak for him courteous consideration.—Editor.] the foundation while the string merely lays in contact with it, or barely touches it. Whether the splint is boiled in wax or not the bees often try to take it away. The few splints I used were fine broom straws straightened by soaking, then weighted at one end and dried. I also split bamboo, which gave a hard, tough fiber not much larger than a thread. This idea I got from Mr. Edison's electric light filament ex- periments. Dr. Miller is a good guesser. I do not know how much the fuzziness of the string was resented by the bees, but the string was removed before the foundation was fully drawn out, as I expected it to be. However, it had sup- ported the foundation until enough comb had been built to keep it in place. The strings were saturated with wax. How could they help being when melt- ed wax was poured over them? A cheap string is better than one made of long staple cotton, as it is easier to remove. A thing must not be condemned without trial. These string " splints, " let me explain, are used i/s a temforary support. My fr
