BEE MOTH INsloIous ENEMY

1t is not to be wondered that our
for their bees. Until the invention OF
the movable frame hive 1t was next
to impossible to ascertain the extent
OF the danger to the bee industry on
the moths account.
The common belief among begin.
ners is that an army Of wax worms
will attack colony of bees and kill
them. The truth of the matter is that
the mischief begins with the little in.
nocent looking moth miller which fit
tiers about among the hives, and en-
tiers those which are weak In bees.
and there finds lots Of vacant cells In
which to deposit her eggs.
In due time the tiny wax worms
hatch from those eggs and begin to
feed on the comb, at the same time
filling them full OF webs. The trouble
is more serious in the southern states
than it Is further north.
The remedy for this is to keep all
colonies strong in bees. Do not give
them more combs than they can oc-
cupy.
If combs have been out during win
ter SO as to be frozen, they are safe
until the weather becomes warm
enough for fresh eggs to be laid in
them. A good tight, cool cellar is
about the best place to store them
until swerming time.
There is too much neglect of this
kind among the aparies. We do not
sufficiently recollect that the moth be-
comes more numerous as the season
advances.

One afternoon they went for row

She was carried to her room, and
next day, when Harvey called. this
