nINING REEFS

A correspondent OF the Geunessee
Farmer having complained that ne could
not keep his ices in his hive, is thus re-
piled to by another correspondent
In the first place, | advise him to
keep away his 'bee BALM aud sweet an.
pie leaves These, End the practice OF
drumming upon tin pans and blowing
dinner horns when the bees are swarm
ing, should be sent : o the shades. But
probably the principal cause Of his fail.
ure, was, his hive was made in too much
OF a ~workmanlIke manner. Bees when
they first go into a hive after swarming
hang IN u body together, so that IA few
have to hold all the rest; AMI if the hive
rs too smooth inside they cannot hold
on. To remedy this, it should be first
planed and her lightly scratched with
an awl; or n better way stlll, is 10 take
some melted wax and pour into the hive.
When this cools, it enables the bees firm
~ TO adhere.
Again, were there cross pieces enough
in the hive2 IL not, that was u sulli.
cIeut reason for their going OF There
should be at least fUur-the first two
placed within four inches Of the top OF
the hive, and the other two four inches
below them. ices are very pecul.ar
creatures, and if every thing does not
suit them, they will clear out for the
woods Uut when rightly managed, they
viii! seldom leave.
