THE HONEY BEE.

Of the Industry IF tie Bee.-' Many
hands says the proberb, make light work :
this is true in relation to Il hive of BEES
When my hive, in 1927, had about three
thousand, very little progress was made {;
some old comb was repaired, but very lit
tie constructed. They were constantly
endeavoring to rear the young-teeding
them with all the honey they could pro-
cure. Having been presented with some
Havana honey, of bad quality, they were
fed with it plentifully. Such a seasonable
supply enabled them to rear supply OF la
bcrers. In the spring of 1928, although al
most destitute of honey, they commenced
a small mould Of comb, at the side OF the
hole, on the upper side, within the glass
bell. The question at once arose III my
mind, whether there were a class of bees
that were architects exclusively, rs it was
certain the season before, no building was
done; bur since the addition Of new menu
beers of the sovereignty, new comb was be-
ing constructed, though there was no ne
cessity for il, as there were, to all appear
ance, empty cells enough to store all the
honey that might be collected during the
season. | marked those bees on the head,
with brush, dipped in whitewash, as they
were sticking the little pellets of wax to-
gethcr, on the borders of the new comb

then contended, that they were at liber-

tice TO that effect, in filing the same plea,
in analogy to the practice under the
Discount Law ofthis State. In this they
were also overruled. The case was then

Gen. Baldwin's Law School was o.
Pened on Monday last, under promising
circumstances. The number of Students
who were present at the opening, we
understand was seventeen; and many
more are expected. The Introductory
lecture was mastery and impressive
1t sketched no flowery prospect of ease,
either to the student or the professor, in
the performance of their respective du-
ties; while it portrayed the high and
cnnobling inducements to diligent study
and preparation, with the evils attendant
upon an opposite course, in strain Of
the most captivating and affecting elo-
quence. We were pleased to learn from
the lecture that Gen. Baldwin intends
to conduct the institution on highly Ii
beral plan; and that he will have the
aid of gentleman, whose profession
more particularly qualities him for the
task, to lecture on Medical Jurispru
dence.
