The Hum of the Hive.

Any bee which loses sight of the
spirit of the hive and works only for
private good is considered sick, crimi-
nally insane, and the community no
longer allows him to take up good
space.-Elbert Hubbard.
Honey will candy or become white
and hard during cold weather. This
while all pure honey does not candy,
yet all honey candied solid is pure.
An excellent grade of beeswax can
be extracted from seemingly black and
worthless combs The market price
of wax averages about 30 or 80 cents
a pound. Beekeepers too often over
look the possible income from wax.
If you use modern movable frame
hives the stored honey should be equal
lied among your colonies. That in
frames of sealed honey should be ex-
changed for frames of empty comb
from the light colonies.
A strong hive contains 10000 bees
in February, 1900 in March, 10000
in April and from G0,OO0 to $4,000 in
May.
The bee is charged with various inn
aginary crimes. Its sting is formula
BILE, but chiefly to the imprudent. 1t
is accused of ravaging fruit, but its
tongue is formed exclusively for the
extraction of sweet juices, and its
mandibles are unable to pierce the skin
of fruit.
In New York state 1t is not consid-
cred safe to winter bees in single wall
hives out of doors without protection.

Sleeping on the mat outside
With the snow all drifted round him
And icicles on his hide.
If you're hungry think of old Fan.
Didn't you skimp her feed today?
Is she neighing now for water?
Has she had her grain and hay?
If big bedbugs crawl all DER you
When you're lodging out of town
Think of poor neglected Biddy
With lice crawling up and down.
If you're thinking that you're tired
Think of poor wife's cares oil day.
Better go and walk that baby
And not like a jackass bray.
If you're poor think of Jobs turkey.
Why. its feathers were so thin
That poor Job couldn't make a cushion
When his boils were singing him.
