HONEY BEES.
After Them the Indian Met the White
Man.


All the honey bees in this country hav-
ING originally been imported from Eu-
rope or Asia, there is no racial difference
between the wild ones and the domesti-
Gated: those that live in trees are SIM
Div the descendants of those that from
time to time have taken French leave"
from their owners hives and reverted to
a state Of nature. The vast bulk of the
wild bees are of the German or black
race, while the standard domesticated
bee is the Italian, but that, however, is
only because the Germans were the first
to be introduced here. Just when the
Germans came is in doubt, but it was
some time in the Seventeenth century:
certainly it was not until near the close
Of the Eighteenth century that any bees
were found west of the Mississippi.
The Indians used to say they could
mark the advance of the white man by
the appearance of bees in the woods.
The Italian bees were first imported in
1860. Better tempered and more indus
trious than the Germans, they have be-
come very popular with apiarists, but
as many still keep the German bee. and
others have the hybrid formed by the
crossing of the two races, while count
less Italians now have taken to the
woods, there to breed more hybrids, it is
clear that there is no sure way of dis
between the wild bee and the
misunderstanding.
