 ing of the large nmri]ucc iu which the Show was held, but luckily with- 

 out damage to a single bird. nnd. through the energv of the Committee, 

 all was soon made quite safe. As will be seen on referring to tho list of

INTRUDING BIOES. 



I nAT> a pood hive of bees, and one day Inst week a swarm 

 belonging to a neighbour of mine came and took a fancy to this 

 very hive, the consequence wag a pitched battle, iu which 

 hundreds were killed. The victors took possession of the hive, 

 ftnd next morning I was met by my neighbour, who said, *' You 

 have got a swarm of my bees, and if you wo'n't give them up I 

 will make you, or you shall pay me a guinea for them." Being 

 a man of peace, I told my gardener to make all right with him, 

 and to give up the hive. This my man positively refused to 

 do, saying that it was just as likely that his bees were the 

 dead ones as that ours were ; and that the bees having come 

 unasked into our full or partly full hive, we had no right to be 

 taxed with costs in the matter. Eather, however, than be at 

 any risk of unpleasantness, I insisted on the hive being given 

 up to ray neighbour, which was accordingly done. At tho 

 same time I think he was not altogether right, and shall feel 

 greatly obliged if you can give me information as to what was 

 really the " bee '* law on this rather knotty point. He insists 

 that his was a very strong hive, and, therefore, argues that my 

 bees must have been killed in the combat. — A Bee- keeper i:< 

 Difficulty. 



[There is not any ground for doubting that uuder the cir- 

 cumstances you could not have been compelled to give up the 

 bees, nor should we have done so. Payment of half the money 

 value of the swarm would have been fair on both sides ; aoil 

 this only as a matter of courtesy, not as being legally due.
