WARS AMONG THE BEES.
From The Kansas City Star.


Did you ever know that bees have war,

Reynolds. of Los Angeles, CAL at the Midland
Hotel Saturday evening WELL they do / own
big honey farm near San Diego and have
made study of the habits and methods OF the
little workers, and in doing I have come to
believe that each hive OF bees has its guards or
policemen, whose sole duty ii Is to keep watch
and warn the hive II another and stronger hive
comes TO rob them. This often happens you
know. strong hive raids weaker one, and
aside from killing hundreds of the bees steals
all the honey. But IL the weaker hive is warned
in time by its policemen IL will prepare to fight
and often the stronger hive is driven back"
Mr.. Reynolds has reputation for being one
of the oldest travelling statesmen in the United
States-he is seventy-three years old though he
doesn't look a day more than ffty-fve, and has
been on the road ffty-two years. He owns one
OF the most productive honey farms In Califor-
MIA, and he knows many curious things about
bees and their habits.
II have six hundred stands on my farm"
said he, "and the annual production OF honey is
about sixty tons There about twenty thou
sand bees To each stand, you see the popula-
tion Of my bee city is greater than that of any
city OF men and women in the world. And un-
like any other city, its population is changed
So for a working bee only lives that long and
the queen bees are the only ones that reach q
greater age They live year more.
California honey Is about the finest that Is
produced anywhere. The wild sage is the flower
most hunted by the little workers and during
April, May, June and July they make most OF
the honey. On the market this honey brings

The story of Colonel Funstons recent daring
