LOCATION FOR BEES.
An Orchard with LOw-SpreadinSs

Place for an Apiary.#

Il have &decided that the ideal place
for an apiary is in an orchard, where
there are low-spreading trees. If the
queens wings are clipped, there will
DE comparatively little climbing after
swarms. Some prefer sshade=boards;
but after having tried both, for the
comfort of the apiarist and that of
the bees, decidedly prefer the shade
of low-spreading trees. Grapevines
do tolerably we'll, but they. do not pro-
tect the apiarist; and at the time of
the year when the shade is most need
3D., they are, sending out shoots and
branches that Interfere with the hand
ling of the hive; and grapevines do
require an excessive amount Of trim
ming just at the time bees need the
most attention. The colonies at our
out-yard are placed in groups of three
on the north side Of the low-spreading
bass woods. It is great comfort as
well as a pleasure to work among
these bees compared with what it is
in the home yard of the grapevines.

run among the hives at will. The
