BEES INVADE
CANDY FACTORY
DRIVEN IN BY STORM OR EMIL
GRATED FROM CALIFORNIA BY
THE DARRELL ROUTE.

Lutteds' candy factory on Hotel
street has been besieged by honey-bees
and the management is at a loss to de-
termine whether the bees originated i'm
Oahu and We're chased to the factory
by the storm or whether they came
down from California in barrels Of
sweet-stuff. There is something more
important to be determined, however,
and that is how to get the bees to va
cate. They do not seem anxious to
leave and have enough to keep them
comfortable in the candy factory for
the rest of their natural lives.
A fish-pole was used without success
in an attempt to drive them out and all
hands We're the other day collected to
wage war on the bees with towels and
brooms. Many of them went out, but
they have returned.
It is now planned to hive the bees
and plug the hive.
