importance. It is a well-kuown fact that 

 some colonies of hees will put up several hun- 

 dred pounds of honey in a season, while 

 others in the same apiary will not give a 

 pound of surplus. I hold that the bee 

 wanted is one that will give the most honey 

 under average conditions. When I sit down 

 by one of m.v best colonies and compare its 

 movements with that of the average colony, I 

 tind that the rustlers come out of the hive on 

 the run. stop an instant to gather themselves 

 for tlie sjiring. and then are away like a bul- 

 let. Turning to the average cohuiy I see that 

 the bees come out leisurely, slowly crawl half 

 way up the front of the hive, stop tor the 

 spring, and then, springing out slowly, circle 

 and leisurely wing their way to the fields. 

 Returning, the rustlers come down on the 

 alighting-board with a bounce, and rush into 

 the hive as though the queen's business could 

 not wait, while the bees of the average colony 

 drop on the alighting-board exhausted, rest 

 there for several seconds, and then slowly 

 crawl into the hive. 



Now, I can not go with the bees to the 

 " fields and far away," but it is safe to assume 

 that they work in the field as they do at the 

 hive. If this is the case, the rustlers will 

 make two trips to the sluggards" one. I be- 

 lieve we can, by careful selection, produce a 

 strain of rustlers just as the fast trotter has 

 been developed.
