A CAPTURE OF BEES AND HONEY. The honey
bees which for several years have been trouble
some under the caves and in the attic of the
house of Mrs. Susan Newell at Citypoint were
very successfully and scientifically disodged
last week by Levi Harvey and George Wing
An opening was made in the wall of the attic
and the bees driven to take refuge in the attic
by the smoke from cotton rags which was
blown in through holes on the outside of the
house. There were found to be three swarms
of bees, and two distinct varietes-the long
Italian bee, and the small brown honey bee
which is said to produce the better honey OF
the two, although not in great quantity as
the other. One good swarm was secured alive
in paper bags and deposited in hive, where it
is hoped it will go on working when Summer
comes again" About one hundred pounds OF
honey were taken out, while it is estimated
that as much more was left as it could not be
reached without too much damage to the
house.
