BEES AND BEE-KEEPING. 



We have lately received a few advance copies of 

 "Bees and Bee-keeping," by Frank Cheshire, Eng- 

 land. The work is to be completed in 19 parts. 

 As a treatise on the physiology and anatomy of the 

 bee, it probably stands at the head. The engravings 

 are very fine— a copy cf one of which, with a few 

 slight modifications, is seen in another column. So 

 far as we have been able to notice, the writer seems 

 to bp not only a skilled microscopist but a careful 

 observer. Ernest. 



AN EXPERT BEE-KEEPEU IN THE EMPLOY OK THE 

 UNITED STATES. 



One of the many treats to which we listened at 

 the Detroit Convention was the papers from Prof. 

 McLain.whom we have before mentioned as em- 

 ployed by the Government to test disputed matters 

 in bee culture. A very elaborate experiment was 

 made to ascertain whether bees can puncture 

 grapes. Not only were grapes innumerable pro- 

 vided, but many colonies of bees. The decision 

 was in the negative. We are pleased to mention 

 that friend McLain has also succeeded in fertilizing 

 queens by mechanical means. It is true, this has 

 been accomplished before; but the professor will 

 probably soon be able to give directions so that any 

 ordinary bee keeper can manage the process with 

 but little risk of failure. We have reason to feel 

 thankful toward the United States for having 

 furnished the means for such experiments; and we 

 also re.ioice that they have secured th? services of 

 so able a man. lie promises to furnish articles for 

 the different beejournals in due season.
