A GIANT BEE TREE

Some OF our town bloods, headed by
our venerable nj. ID. and the inimitable
Joe Thomas, trailed up bee tree In
Ashburn's woods, back of the Chesa.
peake Academy few days since. This
is no yarn: The tree was large dead
chestnut seven feet in diameter, and
hollow from top to bottom. 1t took
several hours to cut it down, the msn on
one end OF cross cut saw standing
within and in this way saving around
the rim. The defunct chestnut fell with
a thud, and the air was made hot with
the busy bees. 1t was on q moonlight
night and the red hot ends of the dis
trrbed colonies found Judgment in
tender parts of the cruel huntsmen. The
attack was long and furious and the
hunters ingloriously fled from their
quest. The next day they returned
properly caparisoned In mosquito
netting ana got couple of bushels of
honey. Fully barrel or more of honey
was spread over the ground, mixed with
leaves aud dirt. The fall was 40 great
that the tree was torn asunder and the
honey had run out. Several colonies of
bees were inhabiting the tree, one of
which was secured by the hunters, the
rest are keeping things pretty warm
in that part of the woods.
