SOME THINGS YOU OUGHT TO
KNOW ABOUT BEES AND HONEY
(Continued from Page Three.)
manufacture. Honey absorbs mois
ture and things made with t do not
dry up and get hard, Honey also pre
vents things in which it is an ingredl.
ent from becoming musty. Honey al
ways loses its flavor when hatfid,
otherwise its value is not impaired.
Doctors, in this country, and especial,
ly in Europe, are using honey more
and more in convalescence from vari
ous diseases.. They are using car.
loads after car loads for the soldiers
recovering from various ailments of
the battle field today. When they can.
be assured of a pure product, which
there can be now in most localities,
the doctors of this country will use an
amount undreamd of. Honey is also
used extensively in making fine soap,
cold creams and lotions. Wh'o has not
heard of Hinds' Honey and Almond
Cream? The production of honey nec
essarily carries with it the production
of wax, though in value to a much
smaller extent since it takes about the
amount of honeycomb which could
contain about 40 pounds of honey to
make one pound of wax, and then, too.
as a large amount of honey produced
is sold with the comb this proportion
would not hold good as to the actual
wax production. Nevertheless, in the
United States alone more than two
million dollars worth of wax is pro
duced annually. This wax is used in
the arts and. is invaluable. Hundreds
of tons however, are used in the pro
duction of what is known as artificial
comb, which is in reality a thin sheet
of wax which passes through a press.
This machine impresses hexagonal in
dentures in the wax just the size and
shape of the base of the natural wax
cell as made by the beesf This-ls used
as "Starters" to majee the bees build
their comb straight and to hasten
them to accept the little boxes and
frames which we use for them to fill
with honey. Without this "Starter"
we could never have "any considerable
amount of section honey which we are
accustomed to purchasing from oar
grocer. The use of honey and wax
are go numerous that it would be tire
some if, I attempted to even delineate,
the greater part of them, which I
doubt very much if I could do in the
first place, I have given some idea,
however, of their uses and. will; pass
on to the other side of the proposition,
namely, .the bees the producers of
these articles. . . . .
We do not know just'wheji man be
came , familiar with a rudimentary
knowledge of the. honey bee, but it is
evident that that knowledge is as old
as any considerable advancement
among the human races. We find evi
dences of it in Egypt in the age of
about 3,000 years B. C. We find also
that God used honey as, a typical arti
cle to describe to Moses the wonderful
land to which he .would lead tJ;e:pep.
ple of Israel There are many refer-;
erics to 'honey-in the Bible and-all tend
to show thatthe honey bee was known
to man long years ago. The strange
part of it is that while man had this
rudimentary knowledge of the honey
bee at such remote ages there has not
been; or was not, in the thousands of.
years following any material advance
ment .in that knowledge, commercially
speaking. It has " been only within
the last sixty years that mate
rial advancement, alog this line has
taken place. About sixty years ago
the movable frame hive was patented
and at that time we might say: began
the industry. Knowledge began to ac
cumulate with leaps and bounds and
today it would seem that apiculturels
beginning to be recognized as an in
dustry of note. The government us
... i m A 9 .
;now providing scnoois oi siuay auu
making appropriations to stimulate
this, industry and . disseminate a
knowledge of it throughout the coun
try. The success of . handling a largo
number of colonies of bees profitably
depends absolutely on a knowledge of
certain .truths pertaining to them, and
not merely upon the fact that we read
that such , and such things are truths,
but we must know and feel within
ourselves that they are actually truths.
Any person can purchase a few hives
nf hPP with the nrobabilitv that seem-
mr surcGss will follow for a short time
from the very nature of the bees ex.
iistance. But it i3 certain that cuch a
) condition is short lived and doomed
ifrnm Yio vdrv nature of the case. It
I Ulil vv ' -w- J . ,
is absolutely necessary to know wny
this seeming success, preceeding sure
failure. We must" remember, that it
takes lots of experience and study to
handle a large number of colonies
profitably and it is very necessary that
one get a good standard book on the
subject and subscribe to some , good
bee journal as means of saving
countless failures and discourage
ments. Ttfere are some things a lot of
them that will only come by experi
ence. But . we must know what : to do .
before we carknow how to do iC With
the tielp -given in thi3 Tvay any Intelli
gent person who can read and under
stand what he is reading can be suc
cessful with bees. Now, there are two
kinds of bees in this country which
have supplanted all others a honey
gatherers, etc.. and these two are the
black or common bee which Is Indlgi
nous, and the Italian or yellow bee
which we Imported from Italy. The
black bee will on the average build
lighter comb than the Italian bee and
will as" a rule stay in the hive on cold
days or' mornings when an exit might
result in freezing and thus deplete the
working force of the colony; . On the
other hand the Italian bee is less sub
ject to disease; is thrifter (will fre
quently leave the hive in quest of nec
tor .when the weather is so cold that
they freeze or become paralyzed and
unable to return) and will make more
honey on the average than the blacK3.
They have a longer tongue v and can
get nector from flowers from which
the black bee can not, arid they are
more gentle and generally more easily
handled. The. various strains ol th;e
two bees differ ' greatly in general
characteristics and upon one jretting
the more desirtle 'of sich character
istics depends a good eal on whethei
one makes a success or -failure. In
every hive or colony of bee3 we have
the following: the queen bee; , tho
drone, and ' the worker. The queen is
the only fully developed female bee In
the hive, save at certain periods of the
swarming, season.; She lays all the
eggs that produce the thousands of
bees in ,the hive (some times two or
three thousand eggs she lays daily)..
There is . only one laying queen in .a
hive . at one . time: The . que?n lives
from one to-five years and occasionally
longer.- The drone bee is 'tho male
bee. We find him. in the hi v only
during the swarming and mati.ig s.'u..
son. At the end of this period he is
driven from the hive and perishes in
various ways. The. worker hee Is an
undeveloped female bee. There are
many thousands of them in a good col
ony. Should a colony lo3e-its queen
when there ar no drones the probabil
ity is that the new queen reared from
an egg which would' otherwise pro
duce a worker bee would not be mated.
She would. lay eggs which would only
produce lrones and in all probability
the hive would soon die out as there
would be no bees to take the dace of
the ones dyeing off. As the colony be-.
came weaker in numbers the moths or
"worms" would take possession. ) A
fertile queen, therefore, lays two kinds
of eggs, one produces a drone or male
bee and the, other a female. But per
haps only xme in a hundred thousand
or more is fully developed into' a queen
and therefore most of them become
workers. When a queen Is made she
never leaves the hive except when tak
irig a swarm with her. While the queen
may live four or five years the work
er's life is very seldom over four
months and in the summer they gen
erally wear themselves out in a few
weeks. The -hdhey comb is an oily
secretion from the worker bee and this
tan be produced at will under certain
weather .or temperature conditions.
There should be in a good vigorous
colony from one hundred to one hun
dred' and fifty thousand bees, though
mny colonies with far less "than that
number store considerable honey on
favorable years. Of course in winter
the number of bees in a colony is not
nearly so great as in summer. But a
stood strong colony ought to consist of
from twenty-five to thirty-five thou
sand. It will be seen, therefore, that
about the- most important thing about
a colony of bees is to have a queen
that will produce a large number of
bees. All things being equal it is the
number of hees which produce the
honey and not the number of hives
one has. A good vigorous colony of
bees in a tight hive will never become
a prey to the boths or "worms" as the-:
are called. These pests are appar
ently the cause of the most of the fail
ures with bees in this section. The
real cause, however, is excessive
swarming and starvation in winter.
Swarming is natures way of making
increase, but one swarm is as. many
as should be allowed from a colony in
one season, and if ft were possible-to
prevent swarming altogether the hon
ey crops would be very materially in
creased. A hive of bees Is like a lien
they become, very "broody" before
swarming and waste a lot of time in
which they could produce lots of hon
ey. Unfortunately we can not prevent
swarming altogether, but we can con
trol it to such an extent that we are
not materially effected, by it. We now
know how to raise queens and start
new colonies without waiting f dr the
bees to swarm, and then by minimiz
ing the swarming we gain considera
bly In the transaction. A hive that
swarms .naturally once loses about
half the bees then able to fly, when it
swarms again the same season It does
so within a few days after, tho first
time and It again loses half of the
bees then able able to' fly and so pn
for as many swarms as are cast. Some
times as many as a dozen swarms will
come from' one hive in one season.
They alVcome from one set of queen,
reared before the first swarm is -cast
and left in the cells by the old queen
who leaves " with the first swarm. - It.
will-be seen then that after the first
swarm there is no queen in th hive
and all the eggs "she. left; will have
hatrhWi in twenty-one days so that
continual swaming so depletes the hive
in number that before the last queen
is mated and her eggs hatched there
ar sn fGw.hees-in the hive to defend
it that very frequently5 other hives rob
them of all they nave ana me Dees
leave the 'hive and attempt to go into
another one when very frequently they
are all stung to death. But whether
they stay and are not robed or whem-
of ttiev are robed and leave, you gen-
eraliv find the hive in a few week3 well
filled with vworms" ana we mmK ine
worms killed the bees. But aio strong
colony of bees is ever killea by .worms.
The same thing: happens when the
bees starve in. winter. The first we
know of it in the spring is to' find the
hive filled with worms arid we, think
the worms killed the bees.. Nothing of
the kind! "
See that the bees have plenty .of
honey to carry them over the winter
and you will see no moths he next
cpring. There are diseases, of course,
that make serious inroads on tho bees,
but I Tiave never seen any of them in
this locality., It is necessary, how
ever, to know how to combat, them
when they appear since no locality is
immune to them. Under all these con
dition we must have the movable
frame hives, but it must be remember
ed that a cood colony, of bees will build
as much money in a wash pot, -If you
will turn IT upside down, as ttiey will
in the best and most convenient of
hives. The value of the movable
frame hive is that it Is convenient to
handle and gives us the honey in a
shape that it' can be easily marketed.
It gives us the opportunity of at sul
times knowing how the bees are and
what they are doing. We can not suc
cessfully keep bees in any other way.
But the hive itself will 'not insure
success. With them and the proper
use of them we should in this section
secure an average of fiftv nounds of
honey annually where not more than
a hundred colonies are kept for each
four square miles. Of course loca
tions differ. Where there is no flora
there will be no honey. There is lots
and lots to know about bees and it is
therefore riot safe for one to launch
into the handling of them on any con
siderable scale. One must start with
a few hives and increase as experience
demands. In conclusion will say that
any person wishing to get inforfSation
along this line can do so by communi
cating with the Board of Agriculture
of Henderson county. :
