Bee Culture.
AN ESSAY READ BEFORE
the ftoucifoss Agri
cultural club,
JUNE 13, 1885.
BY C. BUSH.
Iu com] liance with the request
of this honorable body, I read you
a short essay on bee culture. But
owing to the press of business, I
have not been able to write such
and article as Twhould have been
pieced to submit for your consid
eration, oon a sudject of so much
importance as the management of
the honey beee. The natura' pas
turage in Georgia i» imply suf
ficient to enable every family in
ihe country, to have hooey or
their tables the year routid; and
more than this, to enhance tbe
wealth of the .State millions of
dollars annually, with only a small
outlay *>f capital, and a little at
teEtion at me proper time. Those
who do not own a acre cf land
can have as maDy bees as they
wish, and will not tresspass upon
the property of others in so doing
Our genial clime is another
reason why we should give this
industry more attention. We
have no need of putting our bees
in cellars to winter them, as do
tlur friend* at the north. Here
we have seven mon(hs in the vear
in which our bees can be actively
engaged in the fields, with the
most bountiful honey yeilds. Still
with all these natural advantages
we haveffor years been allowing
bee keepeis north to outstrip us so
far in Agriculture, as to cause us 1
to read their reports of honey
crops with ast-onisnient.. What is
Lhe largest reliable hooey report
on record? Mr. G M. Doolittle 1
of Barodiuo N. Y. obtained from
one colony of bees in one season,
five hundred and sixty siq pounds
of extracted honey ; He also ob
tained from one colony io one
ceasou three hundred aud eight
pounds of comb honey. 1 must
confess it was hard for me to bes
Jieve this reliable report until last
year, when I obtained over two
bvwdred pounds of extracted honey
flow-one colony on poplar alone,
aid.lost the basswood crop by ex
cessive .rains : With the great
strength of.my colonies I did ex
pect during,Mm twenty days uu~
exualed flow from Basswood to
get four hundred pounds of exs
traded honey from my best hives,
and make an average of three buns
dred pounds of extracted honey
from each colony,
THE RACES OF BEES.
We have Out iwo disdiuct races
of which have attained suf
fieent notoriety to reqaite t»ur at
tention .at present. The black
bees, which are the pioneers, and
were years imported from
Germany ; they .have the monopoly
of America, from its eariy settles
ment but with littlo success with
but lii tie success, and now like the
“He® man of the forjest Me dess
tined to oe supplanted .by « su
perior race of bees. Since the im
portation of those beutiful, golden
banded, gentle Italians, .tine change
has been ropid and of lasting beues
fit to our eoudtry.
I will state here that the hooey
reports above were obtained from
pure Italian bees, and nothing to
even approximate was ever reports
ed from the olacks ; I might give
you the main, points of difference
oft the two races mentioned, but
will only give some of the excel
lent points of the Italians which
which the blacks* do not possess.
Ist, /taiians are very gentle and
will maintain their positions on
(he combs while handling them
with perfect composure.
Snd, They are the ji>retth?Bt
bee known, tend none of ns are in
different to beauty even in the
smallest flowers or insects.
3rd, They have the greatest
length us tongue, being able to
gather honey front red clover, <o
athich fact 1 aai an eye witness.
4tb, They have tba greatest
strength of wmg having been
known to f)v seven miles from an
Island to gather stores.
6tb, They are absolutely * moth
proof bee, no one ever having
known a aplony pure Italians to
be infested in the least with the
wax moth, uot even if kept iu a
vail keg. I have been iu the hab
it foe yearn of taking all combs
which 1 have set away when they
become iufeet.d with worms, and
exchange them with a hive, which
they always thoroughly clean of
worms patch up all holes making
them as good as new combs, thus
saving me hundred pound* of ex
tracting combs during the year;
I tied this less trouble and more
satisfactory than fumigation.
WHAT KIND or BEES ARE IN A HIVE ?
There are but two kinds male
! and female, (he drones are the
males. ThequV lays two kinds
l of eggs, a fertilized eg g from
which are reared all working bees
and queens, aud an unfertilized
j eggs from which only drones are
I reared :
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE IN THE
TIMS OF HATCHING
The queen is ha'ched from the
egg in in sixteen days, being
nourished with ’.he richest food
which is termed ‘ royal jfaliy" and
consists of honey, Pollen and
worker eggs, partly digested. The
worker bees are hatched from the
same kind of an egg as the queen,
but require twenty one days to
hatch- The drones hatch from an
unfertilized egg in twenty four
days.
HOW CAN THE *MOST HONEY BE BE
CURED.
Thin can be done by the use of
an £Xtraeter, which enables the
btss to refill the combs ovei ami
over again, without the delay aud
expense of spinning new combs
every time to (be tilled , Mi. Doo
little a most excellent autbrity rect,
commends extracting the honey
before it is sealed, in wh ch I con
cur Begin extracting aa soon as
a few cells are sealed at ihe top of
the frame, theu the honey is sos
ficiently ripe to prevent any fer
mentation, and by putting it in
new tin cans and covering securer
ly with thin cloths; during sum
mer it will attain the consistency
of thoroughly ripened honey. By
extracting at this stage yon will
vav(i much time and uselesss labor
both to yourself and bees, Tha
best plan I navs ever found was l<>
Imve a set of empty combs to be
gin with, lake the frames of bonty
from the lirst hive, and fill it with
the empty combs, then extract and
continue exchanging te the last>
whon you will have a set of combs
to begin with again, I use “Muth’s
standard extractor" and prefer it
to any other, on account of its
durability, its slopping comb bask
ets, aßd the ease, and velocity of
its motions.
DOES IT PAY TO USE COMB FOUNDA
TION’S t
There can be to question about
this, and there is no condition in
which there is any danger of using
too much. A swarm put on fu.li
sheets of foundation, will accomp
lish as much in eight or ten days
as they would with starters only,
in twenty to twenty five days. J
use the Durham foundation for
brood and extrac ing combs, and
the Vanderwood for sections.
The Dur.ham will run about sev
en square fut to the pound, and
Vanderwood from ten to twelve
square fut to the pound, Has the
use of comb foundation any other
advantage, besides, besides exped
inb comb building, yes it insures
stra'gnt combs, which are a conn
tinnal source of pleasure both to
bees and bee keepers, ane saves
much time, and prevents the loss
of many a good queen, you can
look through their hives with
straight combs and note their con
dition preciselp. while fussing
with ece hive wish crooked and
double combs, and Lave it at last
lAuth a very meagre idea of its con
dition. You will ofien find it
neccessary to exchange cards of
comb with the different hives
then this crooked comb will not
fit, and the bees will fill up
this space, by spinning an ex
tra sheet of comb between them
again; and so the trouble will
only idcrease all the time.
HOW TO PREVENT AN KXEESR OF
SWARMIMi.
The first plan w hich I shall give
is the best, and that is give your
bees sufficient' room both in lb*
Brood and Surplus apartments,and
Jo this before they commence prep
arations or swarming as it will be
too late. Remember Italians are
much more prolific than black bees
and require a.« a natural couses
quenee largsr apartments. Give
your queens ample ioom for one
hundred thousands worker bees,
allowing fifty cells to the square
inch, including both sides of the
comb. Secondly look through the
Brood chamber eight days after
the first swarm issues, and if you
find a young queen (which you
will generally do) cut out all re
maining cells, if you do not find
the bees already cui ting them
down, if so, you may rely upou
them completing the job and leave
it with them. Sometimes during
a good honey yield, the bees nog
lect to do this, aud after swarms
are the result. I would advise
working your bees for honey and
allow no increase, or work for in
crease without expeotiug any sur
plus honey. Or if yon desire more
bees and some honey .also, set apart
a number of colonies for each pur
pose.
HOW TO MANAGE SWARMS.
Keep all your queens clipped,
and when a swarm issues catch
the queen in a “Peat queen cage,’
by drawing tne tin slide half out
ana inverting the cage over her,
when she will run up in the oage,
and you will avoid touol tng her,
thus preventing the bees from at»
tacking and sometimes destroying
hei from the sceui left on her by
handling. Having secured the
queen pul her in the shade, and
remove the hive from which they
issued to a new place, put another
hive just like it iu ita stead, while
the swarms are on the wing (per
-1 aps they will partly cluster on
some limbs near by) and in a few
minutes Uaviag failed to find their
queen tbay will begin returning to
old location. Now when a about
a dozen bees are at the entrance
of the pewniye release the queen
on the plighting board by alipping
back the glide ana holding (he
cage on it* edge until the queen
crawls out, always watch io see
tna' she enters and remains in the
hive until the bees are gejng iu
well.
BOW to 014 F OUEKNB.
Find the comb she is on, and
place one end of the frame od a
supportt, holding the upper end
with the left hand, run one point
of your soisson- under one or both
w ; ngs as yon chanee to get them,
aDd clip them off, being careful
during the operation not to press
the queeD, as she is very easily kill
ed when full of egg. Never clip a
queen until you are sure she is
laying, for if she tot fertilized be
fore being clipped she will only be
A worthless drot e layer.
Are some s rrins of I'almus
more gentle ban others ?’’ From
suy expo ienoe with several differ
ent importations i must s.iy there
are s n»e * rail s much more gen
tie than others, I Dought a colo
ny of Dr. Brown of Augusta
whose unenqualed gentleness, beau
ty and bouey gathering capacity
induced me at once to supercede
all my other gueens witu that
strain, and having bought up, ex
changed, or Italianized all the
black bees within range of my
apiary, I aui enabled to keep
them in their purity.
WHAT IS THE BEST POSITION FOR
HIVES?
Alwuvs Lave the entrance due
South, thus protecting your bees
from the bleak winter wious rush
ing in upon them which together
with those ruw eastern winds do
‘hern much harm in the wither,
and . also in early spring when
Broad reading is weil under way.
Secondly your hives should lie
perfectly level, und to have no
mistake about it you had bettei
use a spirit level for this purpose.
I prater to have my flames ran
from east to. west, end give my
hives a slight incline forward to
keep out rain from the bottom
board. Bees while spinning their
combs are suspended, and always
work to a perpendicular line, re
gardless of die pisi ion of Ibe Live,
so adjust your Lives tosmtUnir
unvarying rules, and you will be
satisfied with the result of their
labors. 0, Bosh.

“PATRONIZE YOUR OWN.’
A printer stood At the desk of
a business man the other day and
noticed him using letter aud note
heads wni?h he had bought of a
Ne>v York or Buffalo house. Said
the printer, who was acustomer;
“What woul you think of me if I
should go to new York and buy
your line of goods for myself and
family V* The merchant replied :
“/ would think you a fool when I
know ycu can get the same goods
just as cheap of meand at the
same time aid a fellow citizen.
When the printer called his at
tention to the important letter
and bill beads, the merchant
coughed and walked up behind
the counter to wait on a customer
Aud the same merchant just the
day before, asked the printer to
give him a puff about his big stock
of new goods ! When the bills
from the paper mills aud type
foundry came iu and the wages of
employers became due. the printer
thought of these things. Local
bankers, bakers, dry goods mer
chants, grocers, druggists and
other business men should think of
the above facts somtiwes, —Nor-

A BOY WITH A BULGE
“No, my son,’’ he replied, as he
put on his bat, ‘'you can’t go to
the circus,”
t‘But why father?’’
“Well in the first place I can’t
fool away my money on such
things.’
“Yes. but I have enougn of my
own.”.
“And in tue next place it is a
rongh crowd, the sentiment is urn
healthy, and no respectable person
can countenance such thinks.’'
“But fath—,”
“That’s enough sir ! You can’t
go ! I want you to enjoy your
self but you must seek some more
respectable amusement.
An hour later a curious thing
happened at the circus tent. A
boy climbod to the top flight of

He bad his plug hat on the back
of his head and seemed to be en

father and sou. The father had
gone straight to the grounds frern
dinner, and they boy had run away
They looked at each other for half

POINTERS FOR ADVER
TISERS.
Don’t expect an adverfisment
to bear fiuit in one night.
You can’t eat enough in a week
to lrst you a year, and you can’t
advertise on that plan either.
The enterprising advertiser
proves that he unlerstands how
to buy because in apver*is:rg he
knows how lo sell,
People who advertise only once
in ;hree months, forget that most
people caDnot remembei anything
longer than seven days.
If you can arouse curiosity by
an advertisement, it is agreat point
gained The fair sex doesn’t uold
all the curiosity in this wide world
of ours.
Quitting advertising in dull times
is like tearing out a dam when the
water is low. Either plan wile
prevent good times from ever
coming.
Trying to do business withaut
advertising is like winking at a
pre ty girl through green geggles
Yon may know what you
doing but no one else does.
Enterprising traders are be*
gming to ham the value of sdver
using the year around. The per
sistency of those who are uot iu
timidafed by the cry of dull times,
bus keep their names ever before
he public, will sure place them out

“I’ll sell you one,” spoke up the
kid, with American enterprise
“I’ll sell you knis yaller one for
fifty cents, the black one for seven
ty-five eents, and the spotted one
is worth one dollar ®f any man’s
money.” > *
“I think my little boy would
like the spo.ted one best, bnt you
ask too much for ii: You had in -
tended drowning all of them, but
I ’ife give you tweniy-five cents
and save you the tiouble of drown

“Twenty-five cents for that spo

can't stand t; taxes is high; rent

I can’t take less than sl.”
“But you intend to drown ’

“My little boy wouldn’t like the
