Suggestions for Handling Bees.

Corvallis Beginners Of bee-keeplnl
should use hives Of the Langstroth typ
because Of the simplicity Of both con
struction and handling, Is the recon
mendation made BY Professor H. r
Wilson. entomologist Of the Oregon
Agricultural College. The hives hold
ing eight or ten frames are generally
used. and the beginner should first try
the eight-frame hive. These can b
made at home more cheaply than they
can be purchased. but the factory-buili
ones are more satisfactory.
All hives and parts should be Of the
same size and well painted. preferably
white. This will protect the parts
from decay, which will be further pre-
vented by raising them slightly above
the surface Of the ground. In Oregon
where it Is not necessary to put the
hives In cellars daring the winter. or
TO protect the bees BY putting them IN
cases, the hives should be put under
shelter. A stand for housing six or
eight hives may be made for from six
TO eight dollars. Tops and sides are
detachable so that they may be re-
moved In summer without disturbing
the bees.
II q smoker is needed, the larger
size is recommended, since 1t does not
have to be replenished with fuel often.
Bee wells may be bought ready-made
or made at home. A piece of black
netting In the shape Of sack open at
both ends serves well. A better one
Is made Of wire screen, rolled into q
cylinder that viii 70 over the head,
covered on top by a piece Of canvas,
and finished by attaching two pieces
Of canvas TO the lower end 80 that they
viii fall about the shoulders and pre-
vent bees from crawling under the
screen.
A small tool for prying open the
hive covers is needed: screw driver
win do.
Queen excluders are placed between
the body Of the hive and the supers to
prevent the queen from entering the
extraction frames and depositing eggs.
They are zinc sheets containing per-
forations large enough to permit the
passage of the workers, but too small
to allow the queen to pass through.
They may be plain, or fastened TO-
wooden frames to stand about fourth
OF an inch above the frames Of the
main body.
Wire embedders are used to press
the wire of the frames into the wax.
They are toothed rollers.
A small brush, similar to dining
table scrap brush, win also be needed.
A pound spool of No. 80 timed wire
and pair of gloves without fingers
should also be provided. Professor
Wilson thinks that certain amount
Of equipment Is essential TO success in
bees.
