BEES AND WILD HONEY
Bee Hunting for Profit is aThing Of the Past Owing to
the Passing of Great Forests

dead bees are removed from the hive
and dropped beneath.
Another method was the placing Of
sweet syrup or honey on a log lea
the wood and then following the bee
when feeding.
Sometimes flour was dropped upon
the bees, making them white and
more easy to follow through the shade
Of the woods. The flour would also
be thrown off when entering the tree,
and this often helped the hunter to
locate the bees.
After a bee tree was found it was
marked. and that mark was thought
to protect the tree for the finder until
the coming of old weather., when
the honey could be removed.
Sometimes the finder got all the
honey, but often he had to share with
the owner OF the land on which the
tree was found.
The cutting of a bee tree was no
pleasant job, as the day was never 50
cold that the bees would not try to
defend their home. &nd often the
hunter got more stings than honey.
But if the tree was large and the
colony had been in it for several years
the honey would pay we'll for the
gathering.

10Y al NISSiJ
1t is commonly thought that with
the passing away Of larger timber
the wild bees would have to go; but
such is not the case. There are more
wild bees today han there were thir-
ty years ago. At hat time trees had
but little value. and the bee hunter
found no trouble in cutting a tree
wherever it was found, and many men
followed bee hunting for profit and
pleasure, and as bees were most often
found in large trees with decaying
limbs or trunks they became easy
marks for the hunter who under
stood their habits.
Now all cumberland is under fence
and the cutting OF a tree on another
MANS land often ends in trouble.
Bee uniting is a thing Of the past,
but the bees are here more plentiful
than ever. The old time colony with
so or 100 pounds OF honey is not
found. They have been compelled to
use the smaller trees for store
houses. which soon become over
stocked and q new home must be
found. Thus the colonies are smaller
and more numerous.
In removisg the timber from three
acres of land the owns found nine
trees with bees and honey. OF these
nine trees the largest amount OF
honey stored was about ten pounds,
and on one of the trees h bees We're
storing honey by building it fast to
small tuigs outside the hollow in q
tree.
The largest colony Of wild bees [
ever saw was in Pope county. Illinois.
This colony was using q cavity IN a
rock bluff as a hive, and l was old 1t
had peer there for fifty years.
When looking at the entrance, the
bees leaving and returning looked al
most like brown smoke escaping
from the rock. These bees are out of
reach of man and the amount of honey
they have stored in the rock can only
he Guessed at, but it must be large.
The old time bee hunter knew his
business we'll, and many were the
WAYS he had of finding the stored
sweets.
One of the most used was the snow
hunt in early winter, when the first
snow fell. The hunter went into the
wood. going from tree to tree, looking
about the roots for dead bees upon
the snow, as it vas known that all

Put the Cotton Under Shelter.

In most parts of the South crimson
clover can still be soWn among the
cotton, and Will give G winter cover, a
place to use the manure spreader an
winter and something to turn under
the spring that will give you a heavier
corn crop. If you cannot get clover
seed to SOW, at least sow rye and save
the fertility that would be washed out
in the winter from bare soil.
Get the cotton out OF the field as
fast as possible and get it baled, and
then do not rush it to market, but
keep il under cover and market as
the price suits. There is always q
large amount of weak cotton grown
BY which depresses the mar
kct in the fall. Wait till that rush
is over. but do not cave Your bales
outdoors on the ground to get dam
aged. Get it under shelter. and if
there is q warehouse near you where
YOU can store it, do so and take the
receipts.
1t would be easy to grow as much
cotton as. ever on One-third the area
while having beef and pork to sell
and farms growing richer instead OF
peorer, and less of the farmers
