Just inside his bedroom window,

siumber at night and rouses linn to the

has placed his hive Of bees. He has
had them there for eighteen months,
and finds them pleasant and compan'

annals Of the apiarist. yet from the
storehouse ha has there established
he has taken away more than forty
five pounds Of honey, netting aboul
$3.50.
While visiting in the country in the
summer of 1902 a daughter of Mr..

hedge. They seemed 10 belong to no
one. and when she returned home she
informed her father. The latter used
to raise bees IN the farm, and at once
saw the possibilities Of the find" his
daughter had rade. At the same
time. he did hot take into consideration
the fact that he had no adequate place
to keep them when lie had brought
them home. When lie had obtained
the swarm, captured in cracker box,
he discovered that his back yard was
far too small to accommodate his pets.
The only possible place for them was
in the bedroom where he slept.
Mr.. Sears leaves his window slightly
open to allow the bees entrance and
egress at will. An up-to-date hive is
placed for their occupancy, with all
the comforts of the out-of-door apart
ments. with the addition Of hard coal
heat in the winter.
The bees have already begun to sal
