tates that there should be a radical
change, glting larger a ad stronger

beea from loas of mlicb *1010. and the
beekeepers the "expense of renewing
them nhnually.
Another much needed reform Is that
frames should be shorter and of great*
er depth than now standard
frames and sections, for the treason
that It will require a much am slier
number of thferbqies 4o remain In the
hive and cluster over the young
brood, consequently thare. would be a
greater number of bees In the field
and a greater* n'mtffife; ot young bees
would be raised. The m6re bees there
are In a colon/, the greater quantity
of honey they will gather and store
during each honey flow, ar.d the great
er Is their ambition to work and1 the
less do they fear the robber bees and
moth files. A colony of despondent
bees exercise but little energy, loses
Its fighting disposition and will not re
sist a moth fly. 1 have found them
dwelling harmoniously together In the
same hive. In a few instance*.
Another peculiarity of beea fa very
remarkable; they have such rever
ence for their queen tb*t If the coloay
dies from 'starvation ahe la attout the
last bee that dies m the colony. It
seems thst they give her the lloe'e
share of their rations. I presume that
she la poeaeeaed of greater vitality
and tenacity of life than the worker
beea.
1 am not troubled with robber beea
in the leaat? In fact. I give them no
thought unless when they attack a
queen less colony. IX ao, I transfer the
beea Into another oeHoaf. ? J. W.
