BEE BUZZES.

Dampness more than cold kills bees.
The queen bee is a fully developed fe-
male bee.
To control the number of drones, use
foundation.
1t is important to raise only the best
stock of queens.
An apiary is best located on the south
or east side of a slope.
Bees require pollen. Almost any kind
of ground grain will do.
The genuine worker brood in the comb
has an even, regular surface.
Honey should not be heated to the
boiling point, as it will destroy its flavor.
Bees do not like to be hastily handled
and will usually resent all quick mo-
tions.
Better collect all unfinished sections
near the end of the honey flow, using the
best colonies to complete them.
A swarm of bees will seldom issue
If no queen cells are present By remov-
ing them we will retard swarming until
a new set of cells is built.
On cool or rainy days when the bees
are not working it is best to molest them
as little as possible. They are not in a
mood to be tampered with at such times.
Cider honey, or honey gathered from
decaying fruit, and the honey known as
honey dew are the two worst kinds Of
food for wintering bees.-St. Louis Re-
public.

Inasmuch as the coal supply of this

British North America and Mexico are
