Business Office Invaded by Bees.

A swarm Of little honey bees took posses
sion of the freight warehouse on the Ran
dali line wharf, at the foot of Sth street,
yesterday, and for awhile prevented the
wharf clerks from attending to their Gus
tomary duties. In the freight brought up
by one of the steamers was a box in which
there was some honey, and the bees scent
ed 1t. First one came flying into the ware
house straight for the box: next two; then
they came in droves, and in a short time
the box, which was quite large one. was
black with the little workers. Chief Clerk
Phillips and his associates at first tried to
drive the bees away, but they retaliated by
driving everybody from the warehouse.
Then they returned to the box, and until
dusk We're constantly coming and going.
Efforts were made to wrap the box in
paper. to keep the bees out of 1t. but with
out success. They found some opening into
1t and kept at their labors gathering the
sweets. This morning they again came at
the warehouse in droves, but the box had
been sent to it's destination last night.
