Suggestions Made at Recent Meeting of
Boston Bee Keepers.
Mr.. e. L. Pratt, of Beverly, read an
interesting paper on honey producing.
In this he considered the matter of get
ting bees started in the section-a trou-
blesome experience with many bee keep
ers. He said: 4f
s"One or two colonies as rule get into
the boxes at once and make start be-
fore the others begin. In this case SIM
ply shift a row of started sections with
middle row of one not started, bees
and all. Continue to do this until all
have at least one row of started boxes.
Another plan is to tier two cases of sec
tions above the strongest colonies, 1eav-
ing out the center row of boxes in each
case, and hang a frame OF brood in all
stages in their places. Leave thus until
start is made, when a row of started
boxes can be placed in the center of each
case, bees and all. If they refuse to
work after this it is very evident that
they intend to swarm, when every effort
should be made to encourage them to do
so. Disturb them as little as possible,
and feed little during unpleasant
weather. Adjust trap to the entrance
and prepare a new hive for each, with
starters in the frames not over two
inches wide''
Mr.. Pratt cautioned against the hiving
of swar1ns on full sheets of foundation
or drawn comb. He advised when the
swarm issues examining the trap for the
queen. "When found remove the trap
and adjust it to the front of the new
hive and place it close beside the parent
colony. Leave it until the swarm re-
turns, which it will do in few minutes,
hiving itself as nice as you please. After
| the swarm is nicely settled in and on the
hive it can be placed where it is to stand
permanently and the queen allowed to
run in among the bees. 1t is safer to
wait until quite late in the afternoon be-
fore the queen is released. The case of
started sections should be removed from
the old hive and placed on the swarm.
IF these bees do not show comb honey it
is because there is no honey in the field.
In few days the parent colony will
| have become strong enough to take a
new case of sections"
To guard against the after swarming
Mr.. Pratts advice was to readjust the
trap to the old colony, catch and kill the
queens as fast as they come off with a
swarm. Then the trap should be removed
to allow the last young queen wedding
| fight. If increase is not desired the new
hive can be placed on the old stand, and
all the remaining bees can be shaken off
the combs in front of the new hive al
| the end of the eighth day. The brood
remaining can be distributed among the
weak colonies or TERED over some colony

Mr.. Kinersly, the druggist, had won it
without doubt, they had some techni-

are taking lots of money out of the town

their money secured before they spend

told us what we said was true-he knew
it by experience. That man aCas Hdgh

Htell the truth" like the man who
screamed "Stop thief''-with stolen
goods in his possession-in order to send
people off the scent
''Annias'' is at his old trade. 1t mat
tiers little now, but we never did, by
word or act, approve of the Mountaineer's s
side of the water question. On the con-
trary, it viii be news to the editor to
learn, that the man from Belfast, put
himself, at that time, on record, that
he does not not need, now, to retract.
He dnsacered some of the Mountaineer's
falsehoods orer a non de plume an the
columns of the Sun, and the Mountaineer
man never knew it. 'sAnnias'' must
try again.
