BEES AND BEE-RAISING.

THE stingless bees belonging to the
genus Melipona have been long known
both in Europe and in this country.
IT is doubtful about there being any
plant that will pay to cultivate for honey
alone, although there are many which
will pay to cultivate for fruit and honey.
Which will pay best will depend upon
how the owner is situated.
COMB honey is capped over by the
bees Just as soon as it is sufficiently
evaporated so that it will not sour in the
cell if the temperature is kept at 100
or 102 degrees, rs that is just the heat
of the hive when the honey is stored.
A SMOKER is used to tame bees, in
order that they may DO handled easily.
It is pair of small bellows, with fire.
box and funnel attached, so made that it
can be worked with one hand. Smoke,
properly applied, has the effect of quiet
ing the irascible little insects.
KEEPING bees In the old box hive is
entirely out of date, and tho sooner it is
abandoned the better. The difficulty
it is that you cannot regulate the internal
economy of a colony, but must leave the
bees to do pretty much as they please.
Bees need management, the same as cat
tie, poultry, sheep, hogs or any other
kind of farm stock.
The last bees to die in colony are
generally those near the queen. Their
last feeble morsel is divided with their
mother, and oftentimes her position
shows she had survived her childrensome
time. Before giving your seemingly
dead bees up in despair, make one earn
est effort to restore them and you may be
rewarded by saving valuable queen and
colony.
EVERYBODY knows that hornets, wasps,
yellowiackets and ali the varieties OF wild
bees will be incased in frost and ice for
months, and Us soon as warmed and dried
will he as active as ever. But the honey
bee is not 80 constituted. Her blood is
warm, and her system must be supplied
with food to sustain life yet during win
ter she lies in o semi-torpid condition,
and may even seem to be dead, and yet
be restored.
