GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE

off they will sometimes cluster ou bushes or 

 fences, etc.; and since he mentions it. I have 

 seen them cluster on the side of the barn, 

 almost like a swarm of bees. Well, he says 

 that, when clustered in this way, he burns 

 them up with a little straw, shakes them into 

 boiling water, or into water with a little coal 

 oil on the surface. Some people imagine that 

 Paris green seems to do good because the oper- 

 ation scares the bugs and drives them away. 

 I put this in here because it may be helpful to 

 some who have been wondering, like myself, 

 whether thei-e was not a better way. On my 

 wheel-rides I have several times seen fields of 

 potatoes where the owners were driving flocks 

 of sheep through them in order to frighten the 

 bugs. No doubt it would do the business; but 

 with the potatoes only half grown, I should fear 

 that the remedy might be "' worse than the 

 disease."

By Return Mail, 



From that queen-spi'cinlist Jas. Wood, No. Prescott, 

 Mass. Queens yellow to the tip. mated witli hand- 

 picked drones that have solid-yellow abdomens. 

 These drones are from a different strain than the 

 queens, hence a direct cross is secured. As there are 

 no other bees within several miles of my yards I 

 can warrant them to pi'oduce a large per cent of 

 golden workers. I have several that produce work- 

 ers showing 4 segments solid yellow, with a little 

 yellow band on the Pth : and nearly all will produce 

 from 60 to 95 per cent of the so-called 5-l)anded 

 workers. These queens will be sold at my regular 

 price during the past eight years, 76 cts. each. 

 Please mention this paper.
