' THE WATAUGA DEMOCRAT?E\ Keep Bees Together For Best Honey Crop Natural fwurrmng divides working i bees and the successful beekeeper, will take every precautions to pre- s vent this swarming especially uiutng the cicin honey flow. "The exact cause for this swarm- i ing is not known/' says F. B. Mea-j cham, assistant professor of zoology ?t State College, "l?ut there are ways o: pre venting :l if taken in time. Where extracted honey is produced, the prevention is comparatively easy' by providing an extra h;vc or brood chamber." Where only oitc hive used, cod-i tro! methods are much move difficult, states Mr. Moacharr.. Added ventila r?on. shade, breaking dowr. all the queen cells every live day.*, and in some cases removing 01 caging the queen for ten days are the remedial measures that shoe id he taker, when. tkj (.vtrfl hiv?2 nrif iisi i' For a small unit. three or more colonics, Mr. Meachaio rewmrociids an extra breed ctiasnwer lor those that are strong enough to swarm. When a colony becomes strong enough to cover all ten .frames in the brood chamber, take the extra empty hive body, remove a frame and swap it tor the queen on :i frame of brood. Then place this new hive body Oii the bottom board and put the old q chamber ori a queen excluder that is placed over the now brood chamber. Mr. Meaeham states \hixt when the heney flow begins the old brood chamber ran be removed free cf bees and given to a weak c olony or it ( ; may be set off on the bottom board to make an increase provided there I ;s a large number of brocd to ccme out. \ colony should have more room when the bees cover th< frames fairly well or when the honey flow begin.-. In adding these supers the newone is placed next to the queen and breed and Mr. Meacham suggests that these always he atickbe fori the one io use is filled. Otherwise the bees 'will qui! work for want of storag^J space, he says. r* 5 ^?rmM s* . v>' *'?*' ? Don w gSHH |nnw; few M j "It's Your Throat .. MxM&Si&sMSB r-ERY THURSDAY?BOCNE, N. C. Provide Green Feed For Poultry Flocks A satisfactory range is one of the esse*dials: in profitable poultry production and poultry raiser- shoe id anticipate these weeds and provide i a proper range through a planting f green crops. "When grass is available the bird? g-rt plenty of green feed on the range tut under ordinary conditions this available only during the spring and early summer," says C. F. Par| iish, poultry extenseion specialist at State College "It is therefore necessary that the successful poult vyman supply this feed supplement." 1 Climatic conditions in North Carolina are triooi for growing a great variety of these green crops and the selection of the crops grown will de1 ? - - ... _ ?L? jM-nti Ja great measure upon ! kind of range desired and the location of the farm. Mr. Parrish states j that every pouitryman should pro: vide a triple range with ore planted t a permanent sod and the others planted to temporary crop?. For permanent sod in the Fied' niont and mountain area?. Mi. Parrish 7-ccommends that 20 pounds of i alfalfa, .S pounds each of white clover and red top grass, and ? pounds of orchard grass be used an acre with an application of two tons of lime and GOO pounds of a 12-4-4 fertili! zer mixture applied every four years. Seeded about September loth, this . range will furnish grazing from Apiiil to November. For temporary crops, Mr. Parrisb j recommends Abruzzi rye. Italian rye. and Dwarf Essex rape on the second | range to be followed by Fulghum oats and Dwarf Essex rape. Fulghum ] oais, crimson clover, and rape are I recommended as temporary crops for the third range to be followed by soybeans seeded about the first of June.
