keeper. Having read in some book on bees
that the best and most humane way of taking
the honey without destroying the bees was

tub of cold water, when the bees, being half
drowned, cOnld not sting, while the honey
was uninjured, since the water could not
penetrate the closely waxed cells, he resolved

tried. The bees, according to the receipt,
were hsheh out OF the WAFER after the hive |
mad been immersed few minutes, and with |
those remaining in the hive laid on sieve |
n the sun to dry.

INTO the kitchen, to the great indignation Of
the cook, on whom they 'revenged their suf- |

helves of the aviary, in which we're FIVE or

ONE way or other, have made the other
ices understand the fate which awaited
