POSITION OF HIVES.

Hives should stand near the ground, and each
one on stand by ITSELF 1 have bottom board
for mine, little larger every way than the bot
tom OF the hive-two pieces of studding or joist
are nailed, one at each side Of this-making the
height from the ground only few inches-
These stands should be as far apart as convent
ent from each other--never nearer together than
three feet. There are important reasons for this
arrangement, but cannot give them without
entering more largely into the natural history of
the bee than the limits of these articles permit

BEE PALACES


Have been tried by many here, and elsewhere.
1t is thought by those who commence them that
they possess q great advantage over common
hives inasmuch as they do not swarm. However
large the palace or hive may be in which you
put bees, it will neyer contain but one Queen
Bee. This fact is uudisputed. The Queen is
the mother Of the hive-consequently the bees
in each small hive containing Queen may in
crease as fast as those in the large one. The
former will not swarm, the latter may be made
to do 80 one or more times each season.
Suppose the non-swarmer to be worth at the
beginning five dollars; at the end of ten years it
is worth no more, if as much. We might get
seven dollars worth OF honey every year from it,
amounting to seventy dollars. In the meantime
the swarming hive, on the most moderate calcu-
taken care OIL and make US dollars worth of
spare honey Ito say nothing of what the young
swarms might make) The second year there
will be two swarms to do the same. Taking this
rate for ten years you have 5l2 stocks, each as
valuable as the non-swarmer, and obtain q thou
sand dollars worth of surplus honey Add this
all together, and you have the snug little sum of
So, 500 against S75.
When l saw a calculation something like this
in Quimby's work on Bees in the early days of
my interest in the matter, l hardly thought it
possible to realize such gain from SO small an
outlay. Now kno,c that it is moderate COM
putation Any one can do as much as this in
that space of time, l hope, judging from what
have already done, to do much better than this
in ten years. But, again, let me say this is no
ROYAL road to wealth-eare and labor are r..
quired as in every thing else-but, unlike many
occupations, this so awakens the interest as to
make bee keeping most fascinating intellectual
