Smoker ven and Gloves Should Sc
Ready for Handling Of Beea.

While one might sometimes tear a
hive TO pieces without angerine bees.
nevertheless it would be unwise to un-
dertake TO do so without being Dre.
pared for other results. Not only
should the smoker be lit and handy.
but the apiarist himself should be-
equipped with some kind of an eaec-
tive veil, SO that in case they should
become vengeful he will be able to
give them his undivided attention. AS
TO whether or not gloves should be
worn depends upon the inclination Of
the man and upon his ability to en-
cure the pain from the stings. Some
men find it necessary to wear them al
ways, while others manage better
without them. If good fitting and Of
soft material they should not be bun
glesome nor clumsy to work in. But a
stin, thick glove with open top would
Invariably be worse than none. For
women, gloves are. Of course. a neces-
sity since their hands are naturally
softer and more tender than are those
of men.
Wen a colony is to be examined let
the apiarist, suitably prepared, and
armed with a smoker, approach the
hive directly yet quietly, and admins
ter few puffs Of smoke at the en-
trance. This will frighten the bees
and cause them to fill themselves with
honey, after which they viii be less
inclined to sting. In about a minute the
cover should be gently raised and a
few more puffs blown in over the
combs. After this the intended work
may be proceeded with at once. using
from time to time just what smoke is
necessary to control the bees. In
many instances, there will be no fur
ther occasion to use 1t at all, but in
case they show signs of anger it is
better to administer enough to cause
them to rush back into the hive again.
and when 1t must be done the quick
or better. But the object should be

more should ever be used than the
occasion demands. In this, as in all
other things, one should be guided By
humane principles, and forbear to
persecute.
For loosening and raising the
frames there is no better tool than
common, broad, fiat file, having. as all
such have, a sharp tapering point de-
