Patriotic Honey Bees.

It Is stated as a curious fact that the honey bee is this season doing more than its usual share in providing a substitute for sugar. An East side resident of Rochester, N. Y., who has succeeded measurably In keeping bees without undue annoyance to his neighbors, reports that none of his colonies have swarmed thus far this season, and that they are producing honey in great abundance. This is cheerful news in view of the fact that the English ration of two pounds of sugar per month for each person is now to be .enforced in this country.
