RAISE BEES TO SAVE SUGAR.

An editorial in Farm and Flresidc,
the national farm paper says:
In tins wear Of war. with a shortage
of sugar. more farmers will find 1t profit
able 10 keep bees. and the man who
now keeps bees Will find it profitable
to give them better care The old adagc
runs
4 swarm Of bees in May
Is worth load of hay,
\ swarm Of bees in June
Is worth a silver spoon:
\ swarm OF bees in July
Is not worth a fly.
" And the adagc is worth remembering
for il IS correct as far As II goes 1t Is
worth remembering also. however, that
no swarm at all Is better than all the
rest put together If bees can be
kept in the hives. supers may bc put on
to accumulate their needs If, on the
other hand. they are permitted 10 swarm,
they must FIJI ten frames in brood cham
Der before they can furnish surplus honey
for the owner
Modern study Of bees has shown
that in many cases swarmlng can he
prevented. and that when II cannot he
prevented it can at least he brought
about early Swarmlng Is caused by
the presence Of too many young bees
To prevent il. there should be plenty
Of room for raising brood and for storing
honey Keeping the hive ventilated

Of the middle OF the day and the intro
duction Of young queen from non
swarrning stock in the early honey flow
are further steps that the live beekeeper
takes to secure his load Of hay or

failure to care for bees in the most efficient
