THE FARMER. THE HOMEY I1EE. Mr. Tn ker The labor of this infect, perhaps of all others, is the raost interesting to man. Their covcrnment is a monarchy, the most pet feet of any in the known world. It is wholly confined to the female lino. No male among them is ever made their king, lut a female is always at their head. Their kingdom is perfectly peaceable among themselves, without sedition, riot or rebellion, but when hostilities are commenced by another nation fiom without, or by any common enetm, their whole kingdom is at owe put in battle array on the defensive. The queen bee, besides beinc sovereign in the hive, is also sister to all the btes ol the same swarm or family, and is the mother of all the swarms that are sent forth from her hive or kingdom. If she by any means happens to die, her kingdom is at an end. her place is never supplied by another or new queen, although the swarm may continue for six months after her death, but constantly on tin; decline. Something further upon this part of the subject may be said hereafter. At present I shall pass many of the peculiarities of this wonderful insect, whose instinct often rises far above the reason of man, and endeavor to show how thev can be made the most useful to the owrrr. Having had the care of bees for more tYn fifty years, and constantly watched their movements, and tried many wars to make them more productive, 1 have at length given up all experiments, such as the collateral hive, the hive formed with a mimhet of boxes one upon another, the small daik house and the open garret, being fully satisfied that the belter way is to consider them as bees and nothing more and let them take their natural course. For this purpose I make for thctn a hive, either of a hollow log, of board, or of straw, which will contain about the same quantity of comb and honey as we generally find in a bee-tree in the woods, always making a hole in the top of the hive of an inch and a half in diameter, such a? is made in the bilge of a cask, and to be slopped with a bung in the same manner, w Inch bung may be taken out without any disturbance to the bees, and then place a box or cap on the hive of six, eight, or ten inches square, at any time when I discover the hive is nearly full of comb, taking care that the cap shall be so made as to unite close to the top of the hive, but should it not lay down then, take a little clay morter or mud, and plaster the same so as to make it tight. The bees will be sure to fill the cap with pure virgin honey, if they have time and the season is favorable, which cap may be taken off at any time without vexing the bees, taking care to put in the bung again. They w ill seldom attempt to fill the cap a second time the same season, and will always have enough to carry them through the winter in the main body of the hive. Should there be bees in the cap when it is taken off, carry it four or six rods in front of the hive, and place it bottom upwards on the ground, and strike it moderately with a stick the bees will soon leave it and u turn to their hive peaceably they seem to under tand instantly that they arc senara ted from their queen, and that it will be in vain for them to contend for their property except she is present with them. This is as far as 1 think it best to go in robber v. Bees arc a busy, industrious insect, and the first swarm in the season from the same hive, will always gather honey with astonishing rapidity, if the season is good for their labor, that is, warm and dry, and no disaster befalls them. 1 hey frequently meet with discourage tnents by various means. If their new ly made comb melts down, as it often happens when the season is extremely warm, so that nearly one-half thereof falls to the bottom of the hive, to prevent which sticks, as is usual, should always be placed across the hive at the time it is mde. But their greatest discouragement is caused by their greatest enemy, the miller and the worm. The miller or the moth, as it would be called in the silk worm process, is a small insect, not near as large as the common yellow butterfly, is very quick in its movements, and difficult to hi caught when on the wing their appearance (like all other millers) is always in the twilight between sundown and dark, at which time they may be seen hovering around the mouth of the hive where the bees go in and out,aud

often darting into the hive with and upon the bees. The bees do not appear to be disturbed by their pretence. These millers deposit their eggs in the comb and in the rubbish which gathers near the edges on the bottom of the hive. All that can be done to destroy these ejgs is, to turn the hive up, and

brush it out every day with a wing, or a lithe broom brush; and the best way which I have discovered to destroy the miller, is to take vinegar and water about half and half, and sweeten it with molasses then pour it into small bowls or teasaucers, and in the dusk of the evening plate them around and on the top of the hives. It is not unusual to find a number of the millers drowned in this liquid the next morninsi, when these vessels must be taken away or covered up to prevent the bees from being drowned also, and this must be repeated so long as the millers are seen about the hives. Another way to destroy these millers is to examine the outside of the hive every morning, for they generally rest there through the dav, and mav be killed without much trouble. The cegs of the miller being de-posited in the hive as above mentioned, the w armth created by the bees w ill soon hatch them, when a worm or maggot is produced. They are at first very small, and begin their operation upon the comb. When full grown they are an inch long, and of the size of the little end cf a pipe stale. The comb and not the honey seems to be the food of these w orms, and they often eat off the comb where it joins on to the top of the hive, so that the whole body of the comb falls down into a heap. When this is the case the bees are discouraged, and become inactive, and by this operation cf the worms are wholly destroyed. To save the bees from beinsj overcome in this way, I have found the following to be the best mode: Take the sticks of the common white elder, as large as a man's finger, cut them one foot in length, scrape off the baik, split them from end to end as neatly as may be of equal parts, shove the pith out, notch them upon the edges, and slide them under the hive, say four to each hive, with the convex side of the stick upward. When the bees contend with the worms, and drive them down from the comb, they will escape from the bees and hide themselves under the elder-stick, which being drawn out in the morning will often contain a dozen worms. This seems to encourage the bees; at any rate it tends to keep the live clean, and takes from it the web of the worm, which is very annoying to the bees, and generally is found as a shield to the worm. With close attention to my bees in the modes aove pointed out, I have saved every swaun tor several years past, l ne hives should be placed on four blocks one inch square, and at least half an inch thick. In my next number I will show how five swarms out of six may be drawn, when they are swarming directly into the hive prepared for their recep tion. Genesee fanner. RETAIL GROCERY AKD LIQUOR STOKE.
