Story Of the Bee.


his bees can be verified by our bee
keeping readersG ....
1t has been said: Man is the
most wonderful of all the works of
Cod" but no one ever said so but
man. Bees can do things man can
not and they know things man
never will. A queen bee will lay
more 100000 eggs during the
summer. The eggs she lays every
day are about double her weight.
These eggs are all alike when they
hatch but by feeding the larva
differently bees produce drones,
workers and queens at will.
1t only takes three days for the
eggs to hatch. The younger are
then fed by fine nurse bees, which
are the bees under sixteen days old.
These nurse bees feed the others
from the glands in their heads that
secrete milk
When the bee is sixteen days old
she is of age, and goes to work. The
average life of the worker is only
forty-five days. She just works her
self to death unless winter comes
on, and then she may live through
until next year.
There are about $4,000 bees in a
hive $500 workers and $4,000
nurse bees or house keepers. Then
there are 600 droneS and one queen
The queen often lives for five years,
but the drones never live over
winter. AS soon as the first sign Of
winter, the bees have a St. Barthol-
omew day and kill every drone
Drones have no stineers, but queens
and workers have. The workers
are females undeveloped queens.
Bees have five eyes. three they
use for seeing in the dark and fol
reading. and two for lone-distance
hustling.
When a hive gets too full, the
bees swarm, the old ones goint
away, led by the queen. AS soor

Announcement is made that the
Santa Fe has compelled the roads
west of Chicago to give reduced col

weeks this fall. The fare will be
$S8 from Chicago, which is one and
two-thirds cents a mile over the
Ogden route, and less than cent
and a half over the Santa Fe. Yet
President Ripley. of the Santa Fe, is
making a great uproar about the 2
cent-a-mile laws, and says that
rates must 60 up or wages must
come down. If the roads will lose
