SUNDRY MATTERS. 



Wk are sorry to say that our efforts thus far toirwike 

 an arrang-enient lor clubbing wills the Sr>ti»h Bee 

 Jouriwd, have been un&Hccessl'ul. 



We would refer those who complain of the long one 

 story hives, to the article by J. 1*. II. Brown, in the 

 Bee World for June. 



Miss Anna Saitnueks is rejoicing in a honey crop 

 far ahead of her most sangnine exi>cctations, and we 

 feci "badder" than ever as we look at her photo., to 

 think it did not reach us in time to be placed besMe 

 Katie Grimm in the Medley. 



It rejoices us to sec so many undertaking to rear 

 dollar Queens from imported mothers. If the imi)ort- 

 eil progeny all of them, build up and gather honey, at 

 the rate ours do, well may ijurchasers rejoice in their 

 investment. 



Several exKiuire if we wonld advise them to trans- 

 fer bees in the months of June, July, Aug., etc. We 

 really do not see how we can answer such a question, 

 jiot knowing the persons. Among onr neighbors, there 

 are those who would work so carefully, that thej- 

 would be almost sure to succeed ; and, again there are 

 others who would be almost sure to fail. We are in- 

 clined to think that those who make thesie emiuiries, 

 would be quite apt to fail, for the careful ones would 

 go to work and ilo it at nnj/ seafson if they were snfH- 

 elently anxious to have it done. 



Mii. Langstroth, while in Philadelphia, found and 

 kindly sent us two old works on bees, which are a 

 curiosity indeed. One of them, "A Treatise on Bees," 

 by Thomas Wildman, was published a little over 100 

 years ago; atad yet it lias more truthful plates of 

 Queen bees, than some we have now. The engrav- 

 ings of the comb and queen cells are very accurate. 

 The other, by Jolui Keys, although nearly as old, 

 contains a drawing of a house Apiary for letting the 

 bees go through the walls, and directs that "the door- 

 ways should be painted of different colors, for the 

 bees better to distinguish their respective habita- 

 tions." Is it really true that there is nothing new 

 imder the sun ? One might expect to find nothing in 

 these old books but the ordinary repetitions; but 

 with Wildman especial Ij-, we find ourselves agreeably 

 mistaken ; and on that puzzling subject of the Queen's 

 fertilization, we have to confess that he knows nearly 

 if not quite all that we do.

 was not a bee-keeper.
