During the summer, when work
was scarce, a number Of the mill men
Of Beaver Falls. Pa, spent some time
in the woods and fields watching the
flight Of the wild bees, and by that
means located a number of what APP
peared to be excellent bee trees. iudg
Ing from the number OF bees going m
and out On recent night the hee-
hunters. armed with lanterns, axes.
and pals to carry the honey, visited
three of the trees and cut them down,
after first killing the bees with sulphur
fumes. The harvest was a poor one.
for instead of getting several hundred
pounds OF honey, rs they confidently
expected, they did not get gallon

were lined with magnificent comb, but
il contained no honey. The same re-
port of no honey comes from all those
who keep bees. Beekeepers say it
was owing TO the incessant rains of last
summer washing all the nectar and
honey-making qualities out Of the flow
