THE STORY OF THE BEE.
DAILY ilFE OP, AN INDTJSTKIOU3
LITTLE WOEKEE
What Goes On Inside a
The Oneen Boo, the
Bceliivc
AVorfecrs
and the Drories.
A. Lee is all buBiness. i That is a r'ie(
summary of the remarks made to a
Washington Star reporter by Mr. J. P.
Miller, a representative of the Ike
Keepers' Union, who has been in the
city for the purpose, of securing legisla
tion to relieve the bees from the neces
sity of comDetinir with -glucose. Ac-
cording to 3Ir.
31iiler, this is a iana
Iterated, milk and bogus
honey. His Union desires to get a law
enacted requiring men who make honey
without the help of bees to stamp their
wares, so that the bees will not have to
suffer in reputatiou for any shortcomings
in, their honey.
A beehive, Mr. Mi'der said,' offered an
example of a weli'rganized, well
governed community. It is a sort of
petticoat government. ; The working
bees, or those that form the vast majori
ty are imperfectly developed females.
They are, so t6 speak, the voters. They
have everything in their own hands.
When they lose their queen they can
make a new one. They can and do also
limit the number of male bees or drones.
The active life of a working bee is about
twelve weeks. It attains its majority
when it is twenty-one. .That is. twenty
one days after the egg is. deposited the
"bee cuts its way out of the ced and be
gins its work. The embryo bee lives in
the-egcr three days, then it becomes a
il V T iU Tli bU. UV4 M
5 little wiiite grub, and in this larva shape .
it exists eight days. . Then it passes into
. the chrysalis or pupa stage. Some mem
ber of the colony seals up the cell, and
there the bee undergoes during its eleven
days' confinement the transformation
from a grub to a winged bee. ' When it
is fully matured it cuts its own way'out
through the can of the " cell and begins
its attacks 'on the stores .of the J
colony. Ordinarily it eats voraciously
lor several days. ; lhe otner colo
nists encourage it : in gluttony.
It gets fat with .layers of a sort of bee
fat or tallow under its sleek coat. This
tallow is the beeswax. The bees fake it
and make the comb of it. If a 1 ee hap
pens to cut its way out, however, at a
time when there is a glut of beeswax,
and no demand for more combs, it is
rigidly limited in its diet, ; and it has to
go abroad to collect honey or pollen, or.
stay at home to attend to,dometic dut es.
There is a just and Wise division of
labor. The queen bee, - or mother bee,
as she is known in some parts of the.
world, has nothing to do but to attend
to the duties of maternity. hhe goes
a out deposit:ng an egr here and there
in little cells prepared for their recep
tion. Some of the working bees act as
nurses and bring polWn and water, with
which they feed ; the larva1. The bees
go on continually storing honey, so long
as the harvest lasts. They have in view,
apparently, the possibility that a season
may come when the yield of honey will
be too small to last over winter. When
the cold weather comes the bees become
torpid, and hibernate. This period of
hibernation, lasting until the blooms ap
pear again, does not seem to count in a
working bee's life. ' One i hatched early
in the summer will spend all its little
life forces in twelve weeks and die be
fore the flowrers are gone. One hatched
six weeks before the bees go info winter
quarters will awake from its last long
sleep the next spring and have its last
inning then, living thej next six weeks
of active lifo still due it in the ne t sum
mer. ; ;..''' j j
The queen bee attains ah age almost
patriarchal compared with that of its
humble sister. The queen will live from
two and one-half to three .years. ; l-'nch
swarm ha3 its queen, and she will brook
no rival. When a swarm becomes over
populous it divides itself equally, and
one-half goes off with the old queen to
seek a new hive. Of course provision
has to be made for a - new queen. The
working bees can so influence an egg as
to make a queen of it. They build about
it a queen cell or royal cradle. V Food of
richer quality and greater variety . is
crammed into this cell. The royal larva
passes thep into the pupa state, and
seven clays later tlnf new queen bursts
forth in all her splendor. Before-this
occurs, however, it is supposed that the.
old queen with "half the swarm has with
drawn, leaving the new" beauty a. clear
field. It happens sometimes that lower
ing or bad weather prevents the exodus,
and the old queen has not got away when
the new one. comes forth." In such case
there is a dreadful combat between the
two queens, which does not end till one
is stretched out in death. The "queen
has a sting, but usesifc .only against a
presumptuous rival. The queen, soon
after her appearance, following the d'e-"
tates of an unvarying ; instinct, l goes
abroad to seek a mate. This is, called
"the bridal tour." I It is an exceedingly
dangerous journey for the queen, as her
toy wings render her flight laborious,
while her larger and more showy body
renders her a conspicuous object to
birds and predacious insects. If she
loses her way and seeks shelter in a
neighboring hive, she is immediately
killed by -the inhabitants of the hive.
There is not much hospitality shown a
lost or exiled queen. Having raccom
plished the object of her journey, she
returns and never again leaves the hive,
except to letd forth a swarm in the
manner described; The queen goes
on for two or tltree summers lay
ing thousands of eggs, beginning
in the early summer with a product
of forty or fifty a day, and. at the height
of the season laying as many as a. thou
sand a day. The limit of a swarm of
bee, at which the deaihlrale and record
of nsw births balance! each' other, is
figured out to be about l'i, Qo. A
swarm, however, generally number';
from S(,f-00 to 4 ',0;) . The"' queen bee
never mates tut oncean l this im:nens34
progeny is the result. : '' - ' -
Of cohrse, there have to he male b?s
for the queens, to mate with. T-liey are,
not king bees, but vagabonds -big, fat,:;
la-y fellows, leading art hdle" bohemian
troubadour existence, and fcedinglat the
public crib. They have : no stings, and
no tools for working like their busy sis-,
tcrs have. They :are tolerated -for a time
by the-e methodical and economical
little workers. When the mating season
is over, though, the drones are ruthlessly
slaughtered. The "workers do not pro
pose to feed, the.ce -.creatures after what
little service they can render the swarm
has beeni rendered. The drone is usually
permitted to. ba-k iu the sunlight of life
and seek the favor of ,some wandering
queen fori about forty days.

It was Mrs. Mackey who started the
fashionable fever for black underwear
by wearing it under a wondrous ball
gown of black tulle with diamond orna

private fancy ball, at which she per
sonated the Queen of ight.
The 5 o'clock tea-tabl6 has stimulated
in inventor lo get up a kettle that is no

beputy of curves, and that has the further
attraction of a whistle that sends out a

Amelia Rives Chanler continues her
eccentricities in dress. She recently .ap
peared in public with her hair let down
tehind anct parted into two equal strands,
crhich were drawn over J her shoulders
and fastened together in front by a rib
bon. I StraDge to 1 say, this peculiar and
original mode of wearing the hair was
eminently becoming to Mrs. Chanler.
It formed a kind of hirsute frame for
her beautiful .face and caused favorable
comment from even very conservative
wornen who were present.
; Steam a a Disinfectant.
The steam disinfection experiment;
made at - Smith's Liuudry on Ocean
street, have proved, peifcctly successful.
The active, germs transplanted by Dr.
Gibler intp a gelatine-tilled glass tube
have germinated, and their wot k of dis
organization of the substance is plainly
visible, proving their lUe 'and activity.
The microbes which were taken from
the handkerchiefs after thef had been
subjected to the steam disinfection and
planted in gelatine in the same manner
as the unsteamed genu had been trea'ed,
and in the same material, havbig r oved
entirely inert, though subjected to the
steaming process for only ten minutes,
and under very imper.'ect. conditions
Even the live germs which were planted
in a similarly prepared tube, which, was
lightly corked with cotton, and sub
jected to the sttara fori a like time, have
proved to be utterly de.id. Thus it ha'
been proven once again that tlie slea n
ing process is thoroughly e'licaIous, as
being sure destruction not only to
microbes as well. The people, . there
fore hoth northern and southern, may'
feel perfectly satisfied that all article
subjected to thi-t process will thus- H

Stung by the Electric Bug.
The Savannah (Ga.) Neics tells of a
man in that town who was lately stung,
by what they call the electric bug. It
is so called "because it v?as never seen
by anybody till electric Bghts came. in.
Within twenty-four hours the man's
head and face were broken out with sores,
while the arm to the shoulder was so
swollen as to be useless. A good doctor
managed to cure him, though con
fessedly puzzled by the. case, since the in
sect Vhose bite caused the trouble had
heretofore been, looked upon as per-'
feclly harmless.'
Parting the Hair.
"On the right, if you please," said a
representative of the Cull, to a tonsorial
artist, who, brush and comb in hand,
was 'about to part his hair on the left
side of the head.
"All right, sir," remarked the knight
of the bruh and. comb; "was going o
part it on the other side from force of
habit." " m
"How nimy people part the hair on
i the right side?"
v; houlcl say less than one in twenty."
"And why do so many men part it
on the left side f1
t'Because," replied the artist, brushing
back a stray lock, "they've been brought
up to it from infancy. A mother facing
ller boy always holds the comb in . her
right-hand, and it being easiest to comb
the hair from left to right, she parts it
on the left. The boy when he grows up
and is able to comb his own hair finds
the part on that side, and follows the
I line marked out by his mother. That's
why the majority of men part on the
left." 'Stia Francisco Call.
