At a recent convention Of bee-keepers in
Chicago, an enthusiast in agriculture gave an
interesting sketch Of his pursuit in foreign
lands of new races of bees. He set up an
apiary on the island Of Cyprus to test the
merits of the Cyprian bees; he visited Pales-
tine and obtained colonies Of Syrian bees,
and after q deal of trouble succeeded in trans
planting both varieties to this country. The
Cyprian bees especially are remarkable for
their superior prolifcness, sw ift flight and the
long distances they are able to cover in quest
of honey.
A work on bee, asserts with much candor
that if you treat the animals we'll they won't
sting you. All, yes, trusting and confding
granger, that il what you want to do with
your bees-treat them we'll. Keep them sup.
piled with late style clothing, give them the
best seats at the first table, drive them often
to water. speak soothingly to them, set up
the beer for them. say comforting words 70

tural sea, with an old-fasbioned hive behind
the barn and your dreadfuIly infiamed face
full of painful stings, what you want TO do is
to treat them we'll.
We have in the movable frame a hive. of
the simplest pattern and mort economical
construction. one of the most rational, sensi.
bic and useful inventions pertaining to bee
management. and iS general adoption has
done much to render Bookkeeping an easy,
pleasant and profitable matter. The form Of
the hive il not so essential, but one thing
should be aimed at-only the uniform shape
and size should be adopted. Then the frames
will ft any hive, and in changing or handling
the bees no loss, bother, or inconvenience
will result.
