The busy bee at best gets a day Off
about as seldom as a country boy in
haying time. but the modern apiarist
has cOntrived to make her even more
industrious than she is when left to
herself. The orchards of the sacra-
mento and San Joaquin valleys bios
som some months before the southern
sage brush. The bee-farmer, there
fore, carts his bees about from place
to place as the seasons advance, and
thus. by keeping them busy nine
months Of the year, gets three crops of
honey. The difficulty Of moving bees
during the active season is overcome
by travelling at night. AS the bees
help to pollenize the flowers and thus
produce superior fruit. the owners Of
the orchards regard them with favor.
In results the plan is even better than
that Of the enterprising farmer who
crossed his bees with frehies so that
they could work nights.

their labors are at length crowned
with success, or at least with a par
