people to turn to Chicory as a beverage
and it soon came into general use. -,
So good was its taste. so rich was It's

Dutch housewives who are known the
world over for their ability as cooks. .
After the war when ample supply or
coffee could be secured. the Hollanders
were loath to give up their cmcory; as
a result they blended coffee and chlc0Fy
and produced the good cid Dutch coffee
now served in nearly all notes, restaI-

Not only did this blend produce thar
rich aroma and flavor, but it was found
that chicory counteracted the bad siIecI5

hive. Whether the young bees or the
old bees should go out
The young bees are the housekeepers.
The young bees hatch the eggs, feed
the larva, tend the brood, in fact look
after all the household duties. The old
bees are the field bees. They go out
and gather pollen and carry water wiIh
which the bee food is made to feed the
young. They bring in the nectar from
the flowers, and they guard the home
from intruders.
It is easily seen that the young bees
are the ones that are needed in the old
hive, for there is where the eggs and
brood are found; there is where house,
hold duties are imperative, but the new
hive has no eggs, no brood and no
household furniture. But the new
home needs bees that can go into the
fields and gather honey and that can
build comb with which to furnish their
home.
That the old queen goes out with the
swarm is manifest from the fact that
the old hive is without a queen until
the new queen is hatched from the
queen cells left; but even necessity
also shows that the old queen must be
in the new home. As soon as they
build new comb she will begin laying
eggs for the perpetuation of the new
colony.
In speaking of young and old bees
lit might give the impression that bees
live a long time. The fact is that the
life of a bee is very short A bee five
or six weeks old is a very old bee. In
the height of the honey season six
weeks Is as long as the average bee
Lives. It requires a good queen to keeI
up the work of laying eggs to replen-
