Haw to Tame Bees.
Many persons while watching anl
exhibition of bees in<a movable trumol
hive, at the Fails, taking out ami re-1
turning the frames of tomb- covered
with bees, sind ms they hung iu clus
ters front the frames, removing them
by bluxifuls. with no more apparent
fear than though they were so many
flies, have regarded the process as a
sort of wiVcheVy; they have thought
that none hut the operator, and possi
bly a few others, could have such per
fect and fearless control over their
bees: Instead of this : being actually
the case, it is the reverse ; for no per-!
son abut ;1 ha vo: yet seen, who has fol-|
lowed the directions for “Taming'
Bees” that I purpose to give, has been
unable, after a little practice, to have
full and absolute control over them.
I understand that a specula'or in Can
ada has made the proposition “ to in
struct bee-keepers in the art of taming
bees for the exceedingly low priee of
$lO each !” But the readers of this
j lurrial can save their $lO, and learn
the whole art by observing the follow
ing directions, which the writtr has
practiced fur years.
Tiio whole art of “taming bees” is
embodied in the following: Ist—A
honey-bee filled with honey or “liquid
sweets,” will not sting of bis own ac
cord. 2d Bees, when frightened,
will generally fill themselves with
hinny ; and, if given “ liquid sweets,”
will invariably accept of them. Bees
may be frightened thus: Ist By'con
fining them to the hive, aim rapping
the sides of it lightly with a small stick,
or the palms of the hands. At first,
the bees will try to get suit, but find
ing that impossible, they will then
rush to their stores and fill themselves
with honey. 2d. By blowing upon
them the smoke of punk (rotten wood)'
What is termed “liquid sweets” is
water well sweetened with hofiey or
sugar. Sugar is preferable, as bees
from neighboring hives, or those in
close proximity, are not so readily at
tracted by it.
For many years I used mainly the
smoke of tobacco and cotton rags, but
tills season, in all operations 1 have:
used nothing but the smoke of “panic.”
This is not so pungent as that of to
bacco.
In order to make the foregoing di-’
rections a little more clear, I will now
set forth the modus operandi of ta
ming the most irritable colony of bees
in the Langstrotb hive; which will
answer, somewhat modified, for all col
onies in all kinds of hives.
Set the punk on fire, and blow a
little smoke into the entrance of the
hive. This will cause the bees near
the entrance to retreat and go among
the combs. Now take off the top
cover, and blow enough smoke into the
holes or slats of the surplus honey re-
OejiUvf'lc euvav, t,. ........... — ll 11
go below the tops of the frames, when
tliis cover may also be removed. Blow
sufficient smoke upon the bees to keep
them below among the combs. Unless
the colony be very populous, the bees
will now nearly till he found hastily
fillino- their-sacs with honey, and will
generally;be ready to operate upon in
from five to fifteen minutes. Should
the operator desire to commence ta
king out the combs as soon its possi
ble, he may sprinkle the bees with the
sweetened water. Toose not filling
their sacs front the cells of honey will
commence at once to gorge themselves'
wth this preparation. I seldom have
occasion—except at the Fairs —to use
the “liquid sweets.” I would advise
beginners to use a bee-hat until they
have had some experience—which
may then, tit times, be discarded.
Reader, just.operate upon a colony
lit the wav described, anti you will
probably be surprised-to find that you
can more easily and readily subject
the most irritable’ colony <>f bees to
your control, than can Raroy an ordi
nary animal of the equine rate. — M.
M. ‘ Baldridge, in the American Ag
riculturist. ■
Top- Dressing.—At anytime when
the immediate surface of the ground
is not frozen, top dressings of super
phosphate may lie applied with profit.
The moist condition of the sojl. at'this
season of the year, is every wav favor
able for the dissemination of tip dress
ing, so that its equal division through
the soil by spring will materially im
prove the early growth of plant*. One
groat advantage arising from the use
of fall top-dressings for grass and
grain crops, is the more extensive di
vision of the manure through the sur
face-soil, thus bringing it in contact!
with greater number of roots.
Pickled Appi.es. —Take a peck of
sweet apples and pare them ; boil them
until tender in a syrup made of four
pounds of sugar and a quart of vine
gar ; then remove them from this sy
rup, and make anew syrup of five!
pounds of sugar and a quart of vine
gar, to which add two teaspoonfuls
each of cloves and cinnamon, tied in‘
a bag; let this -syrup boil fifteen or
twenty minutes, and pour it, while hot.
over the fruit. The first may be used
for other sauce. ,
Transplanting Evergreens.— ls
the roots of evergreens get dry at the
time of transplanting, death is almost
pertain. Keep the roots covered and
moist, spread them naturally, and
cover with good mellow earth. Be
careful not to plant too deep.
The present season is propitious fjpr
planting.
