This last item was considered of enough importance to have a
patent issued for it. If the distance from the top of the frames to the
honey board, or between the frames and the hive, is less than
three-eighths of an inch, the bees will propolis it together, and if it
is more, they will build comb between.

WHAT SHOULD BE WORKED FOR.
As publishers, says the Weekly Bee Journal, we should,
1. Encourage planting bee-pasturage, that there may be, every season, a
crop of honey to gather, in order to make apiculture a certain
occupation.
2. Foster district and local societies to afford mutual instruction, and
strengthen fraternization.
3. Institute large and attractive honey and apiarian exhibits at all
fairs, to educate the community to the desirableness of a superior
product.
4. Cultivate a discriminating domestic market, to encourage superiority
and excellence.
5. Sell at all times, and in all places, an honest article under an
honest name.
