=Bee Feeding.=—I have thus far used the “bag feeder,” of
our friend Prof. Cook, with this addition: I have a long
tin tube, shaped like the handle to a water-dipper, long
enough to reach through the bag of chaff and empty into
the bag; then, with the aid of a funnel, I can daily place
the warm food within reach of the bees without disturbing
them or letting out the heat—so precious in early spring
to a depleted colony. Have never tried the Professor's
“Perfection”—thought I saw objections to it. If any of our
more experienced bee-keepers have devised a “better way,”
please tell me through “our” JOURNAL.
