'I LIKE TO BE ON FRIENDLY TERMS WITH THE BEES." 



Curious Experience with Bees. 

 BY W. L. MILLER, DENVER, COL. 

 The illustration shows an experi- 

 ence I had in hiving a swarm of bees. 

 I had had but little experience with 

 bees, but had learned that, if I caught 

 the queen, I could get the bees where I 



wanted them. I walked up from quite 

 a distance down in the field with this 

 swarm, and my wife took my picture. 

 I like to be on friendly terms with the 

 bees, but this was a little greater dis- 

 play of intimacy than I was expecting.
