then have an opportunity to store sur.
plus honey. Otherwise, II they be
come crowded, they will have a ten.
dency to swarm. The swarming
tendency should be averted as much
as possible. Swarming generally
means less surplus honey.
Supers having full-length frames In.
stead of pound sections are preferable
for surplus honey In Oklahoma. IL
the frames have previously been
stored with honey and properly cared
for, there will remain an inch strip of
hcneycomb attached to the full

comb will be straighter than in a
frame where no starter is present.
In case the bees do swarm. the old
hives placed in storage as mentioned
will be all ready for hiving them
Preparation for hiving bees should
always be made I'm advance. The use
of an old soap box or nail keg as q
hive for bees not only shows poor re-
spect for the bee and Bookkeeping In
general, but it also shows one OF the
worst forms OF poor management on
the part OF the owner. Honey OBJ

tanned at ALI ia Of very inferior
grade ON account Of the Matching OF
the young bees fin the cells OF the
combs before the honey Is stored
therein.
From two to four colonies Of bees
properly handled will, in most cases,
supply the owners table with honey
throughout the year. Why continue
to ship additional tons o. sugar into
the country every year when addition
al tons of sugar are going tn waste?

Bees properly handled will in most
instances supply the owners family
with honey throughout the year.
Sugar is a sort OF substitute for
honey. Sugar is not as easily assim-
Hated as honey. Children have q
natural appetite for sweets that
should be satiated. The same Ia true
OF the majority OF people. Honey
should not be allowed to go to waste
in the ungathered state when there
exists such a continuous demand for
sweets.
Examine each colony, IL the bottom
board is Uttered with dead bees and
honey cappings, sweep it and make
1t clean. II any webs. webworms or
moths are found in the hive, be very
careful to remove them. After col
ony in the hive is found to be in good
shape, see to 1t that there are no OBJ
sfructions near the entrance that will
check workers as they come and 60.
All hives Of dead bees should be re-
moved from the bee yard. They
should be thoroughly cleaned and
stored away in a dry room where
dust, mice and spiders cannot locate.
Frames having well-formed combs
should be saved. Frames containing
irregularly formed combs. drone cells
or work OF the bee moth should be rem
dered and marketed as beeswax
Nearly all bee supply deflers will pay
cash or trade comb foundation for it.
As coon as the cells near the top
h9rs Of the frame hare been filed
With honey and capped, IT Is time that
re sapers should be placed On the
brood chambers. The workers will
