this spring were forecast here

To combat this menace, Mr,

vide a syrup made by mixing two
parts granulated supar, one part
boiling water and pouring this
into nn inverted hpney cylinder
on the inner cover of the hive.
An empty super should be
placed on the inner cover and a
top put m place to prevent rob
bing the hive.'
