1t might be matter Of interest, II
not Of surprise to great many people
to know that the bee tree Is still quite
common in York county, and there are
a number Of individuals who still To-
cate from one to a dozen bee trees ev-
cry year. One man told The Enquirer
the other day that he had four bee trees
located, one neighbor had two and an
other neighbor had six, and all were
looking for more. The most common
method in locating bee trees Is to find
what the hunters call bee sucks" A
bee suck Is a place where the bees go
for water, usually in the sand near a
stream. More often than otherwise,
the bees prefer the track Of horse or
a cow, particularly the track Of a
horse in the sand. where the depres-
sion sinks down still closer to the wat
er of the nearby stream. It often hap
pens that the bees from several
may be going to the same
Suck" The hunter watches the bees
as they fly away after having obtained
their supply Of water. The little in
sects invariably make in straight line
for their headquarters, and an exper-
fenced hunter following in that direc-
ton, usually finds the tree somewhere
within a quarter Of a mile. The hun
ter who was telling The Enquirer, Of
his recent experiences, says that all Of
the four trees he has located recently,
showed the bee colonies established
within four or five feet from the
ground, and explained the circum-
stance with the statement that the
particular section having been burnt
over, the hollows In the oak trees are
all close to the ground.
