A Hint to Beekeepers.

A Belgian agriculturist planted at the beginning of spring two white birch trees and pruned them at the tim when the sap was rising. The ne. day, from each opening flowed a, abundance of liquid, and the trees were then surrounded by quantities of bees which ate with delight the sweet water. This natural wat»r continued for several days, and the colonies of bees the whole time presented a great sight. Beekeepers who have small trees are recommended to make incisions in the bark in the spring.
