New Races of Bees.

From the Neao York Eceni1g Post.
DR.. A. Jones, of Beeton, Canada,
an enthusiastic apiarist, has sent Frank
Benton, New \ ork bee keeper and
slingulst, on tour aronDd the world
in. search of new kinds of bees. Mr.
Benton remained during last winter
Iupon the Island Of Cyprus, starting
an apiary and shipping queens to Mr..
Jones, and this year he is taking a
trip, in search OF new races ofbees,
through the Indian Ocean, visiting
Hiudustan, the Island of Ceylon, far
ther India, the island of Java, and
perhaps the Philippine islands.
Writing from Columbo, Ceylon, Mr..
Benton says: II have seen two native
races of bees here and the comb of
third One is stingless, but worth>
less. One race is Apis Indica,
but Apis. dorsata is certainly
wonderful bee, whether it
can be domesticated or not. 1t
builds in the open air, on branches,
often making combs six feet long,
and I have good authority tor saying
that thirty natives have each taken
load of honey from one tree. | call
| ii Apis dorsata but I do not know
positively as that is it's name, as have
not yet seen the bee. Everybody
says, though, that there is large
bee, from which great quantities OF
honey are easily gotten, In the inter-
ior of the island" But Mr.. Benton
did not 90 to- the interior Of the is>
land, because, as he says, sit was too
late, when learned where to find it,
to 90 to that part OF the, island and
reach this French steamer" Hewill
stop at Ceylon again, upon his return
trip. Writing from Java, ne says:
Il have not yet seen bee of this
race(Apls dorsata) but have seen
two combs of these bees, which are
three feet by three and halt feet,
are one and halfinches thick where
the brood was reared, about twenty
cells to the square inch. The bees
must be seven>eights of an inch long.
