take sudden leave Just before we are
ready to hive them. Bees often cluster
III curious places, ana take fantastic
shapes, following, Of course, the lines Of
whatever they may light on. One pao-
tograph recently shown in Gleanings IN
Bee Culture showed swarm in the form
Of a cross, having alighted on trellis
form in that shape, making a very tine
picture. / have had experience with a
large swarm lighting on a tangle of
grape vines, and took them out by hand;
that was in my early bookkeeping days.
now either smoke them out or call
them out with combs Of open brood.
in either case not getting them angry
and having time, as In the old way.
As rule, swarming bees are gorged
with honey. and have no desire to fight
unlese hurt, that is why 50 many noyices
hive bees without getting stung and
think the bees won't sting them, but
find ont their mistake 2 little later. whaan1--
keepef4 sc present hate fnf less swarm
ing than formerly but the farmers who
have Just a few hives. have as many Is
ever, often letting their bees use up all
their energy in this way instead Of max
ing honey crop. A swarm of bees in
the air may be driven about as easily as
a flock Of sheep with a small force pump
with a continuous stream Of water If
they do not get too high in the air,
and can generally be made to cluster on
some low branches. Some claim to be
able to drive them BY flashing a looking
glass 10 the sun, and throwing the rays
among the bees have not tried the
plan, but have reason to believe il will
work all right The ringing bells and
tanging pans are a very ancient practice,
having been law in England in the
time Of King Alfred, the reasons being
to let people know, so that they might
keep out Of the way; also TO avoid diff
oulties as to ownership Of bees, it having
always been conceded that swarms were
the property Of the finder, unless fol-
lowed up By the owner
