method OF reaching the retreat OF th
bees is creditsble both to his ingenuit
and his courage. To an ordinary climb
er tho crown OF the big elm is entirely
in accessible. For fifty feet or NOR
! the immense trunk is without limb an
its first branches are Of themselve
larger than average trees. To reach
one OF these, Mr.. Kent places the long
cat extension ladder he can get agaius
the body of the tree. Then, carrying
with him long, stout rope, he mount
almost to the topmost rung, and from
that vantage point casts an end OF tht
rope over the lowest branch. Their
grasping the ends of the rope he swing
clear, and hsuls himself hand owe
hand to the limb, standing on which ht
is able to throw his rope over another
limb higher up, and 80 on, until h'
reaches the hollow preempted by tht
oees. Tue swarm secured on Monday
last was large and valuable one, and
will well repay him for the trouble and
danger Of it's capture.
