Pho Queen Trap Neat Affair.
If The cluster is low, it is easy to
hive IA swarm of bees. Slip a basket
right up under the cluster and Jar the
limb. II the bees have clustered high
Zip in tree, get pole long enough to
reach them and fasten the basket to
the end of it. \ common peach basket
will do very well. When you have the
basket right up under the cluster, give
the pole a sharp Jerk upward. which
motion will jar the limb. and the bees
will drop il.,J the basket. Have the
hive under HE tree and dump the bees
in front of 1t. and they will march In
like an army. The hives should be
raised an inch or two in front to give
them air. The bees will commence to
give eontented hum. and if there are
any remaining on the tree they will
hear ii and join the rest In the even
ing the hive can be carried to the loca-
ton where it is TO remain.
Sometimes swarm will cluster on
the trunk of n tree or wall; then 1t will
be necessary to use brush to get
them uto the basket The ringing of
bells and beating of pans aud all such
notions are of To avail y first swarm

cluster on some tree. when the apiarist
can replace the cid hive with an empty
one and place he trap with the queen
In front of the new hive on the old
stand The bees will remain from 10
to 20 minutes, when they will return
