though those who have sampled it, say
it is always good, only sometimes
better.
In connection with the Belgian bees,
there is a funny feature. While en-
gagged in their practice of making wine.
they find time TO increase and multiply
at a rapid rate of progression. They
have a tendency like the cOotie to be-
come fathers and grandfathers and
overnight. And all
with the net result. that after one pint
of bees has made three pints Of wine,
their output will be nine pints OF wine.
on account Of the increase in their
population and because Of their regard
for the ever-increasing number Of pa
irons. And as the bees have way OF
insisting TO reproduce their kind ad
intinitum. there is an ever-increasis
OF wine and no let-up az
long as the sugar holds out.
The wise men tell US, too, that n Is
both amusing and interesting to the
home-folks to watch the antics Of the
busy bees when they are actively en-
gaged in making wine. The great-great-
the great-great-grand-
mothers and the fathers and the
mothers and all the little bees are seen
ascending, presumably to get the air.
and descending TO resume their work,
some time slowly and methodically and
then again at a swift, scurying pace.
One point the wise men are dubious
about. II the bees are such adopts at
