BEES NEVER CARE TO WANDER.
Don't Like to Go More Than Five Miles
After Raw Material.


After Raw Material.
The range of the honey bee is but lit
tie understood by the masses, many
supposing that bees go for miles in
quest of nectar, while others think that
they go only short distance. 1t may
be curious to many to understand how
any one can tell how far the bee may
fly, but this is simple when understood.
Years ago, when the Italian bees were
first introduced in the United States,
these bees, having marks different from
those of common bees, were easily dis
tinguiShed and after any bee-keeper
had obtained the Italian bees they could
be observed and their range easily no
ticed. If bloom is plentiful near where
bees are located they will not go very
far, perhaps a mile in range, but if
bloom is scarce they may 20 five miles.
Usually about three miles is as far as
they may go probably.
Bees have been known to go as far as
eight miles in straight line, crossing
a body of water that distance to land.
1t is wonderful how the little honey bee
can go so far from its home and ever
find its way back to its own particular
hive. If, while the little bee is out of
its home, or hive, the hive should be
removed some ten or twenty feet, ac-
ccrding to the surroundings, when it
came back to where it's home was first
n1 40 hnnAlDcS1U
It's home was in an open space, with no
other objects close, it might find it's way
home, but, even should the hive be
moved only a few feet many of the
bees would get lost.
So, to move a hive, If done in winter
time, it would be all right, but if in the
summer time, it should be done after
| dark, or when the bees are not flying,
and even then the bees should be stir
red up some and smoke blown in at the
hive entrance and board or some OBJ
ject placed in front of the hive so that
the bees in coming out may mark their
new location. Bees, no doubt, are guild
ed by sight, and also by sense of smell.

Imagine yourself on q trim ocean
steamer, gently throbbing along over a
summer sea of indigo blue, rutf1ed here

cooled by constant breeze, which
blows so gently that you feel as if it
might continue unchanged forever To

of piled-up, hazy mountain peaks. More
fascinating than the island itself are
the clouds piled above it, masses upon

and contendng among themselves.
Great, dazzling white piles swell high
err and higher above the peaks, growing
first irridescent with beautiful opal
tints, then an omnibus copper color,
and finally seeming to burst asunder

Night comes on. and lurid lightning
rushes through these clouds, throwing
the moon-lit sea into pale significance,
while from many other places on the
horizon arise titful flares and flashes
out of small mounds of clouds hanging
over other unseen islands. These

he didn't get mad either. The joke was
to steal him. Yes, right after the cere-

into cab, and then drove him out six
teen miles into the country, where we
locked him up in a barn and kept him
there three days. The bride waited for
him in a royal suite of rooms in an AS
bury Park hotel. We had persuaded
her to travel down alone, promising her
the groom would arrive at any minute.

was done. we trotted out into the coun-
