Even the Bees Are After the Kaiser

Mrs. Virgil Linton, who lived on the farm of Frank Foltz near Kniman, had a swarm of bees that filled their hive full of honey early this summer and then they made quite an amount of comb on the outside of the hive and filled it with honey. A super was placed on the hive and the bees took the honey out of the comb on the outside of the hive and placed it in the super and filled the super with honey. After filling the super they again filled the comb on the outside of the hive. It seems that the bees have taken up the spirit of extra effort to produce a large crop so that we may be able to sustain our allies and ourselves in the great conflict with Germany.
