when in full bloom. I am told bee-keep- 

 ers are having the same experience around 

 Glasford, because of the fruit trees being 

 sprayed while in bloom. How can bee 

 keepers get out of such trouble? Move 

 out. or is there some other way out?

(The only way we know is to get a law 

 enacted against spraying fruit trees while 

 in bloom, and then enforce the law. —

Brushing Bees Off Combs. 



On page 803 (1902), on "Brushing Bees 

 From Combs," Editor Hill gives Mr. 

 Poppleton's plan of getting ahead of the 

 dodgers when clearing extracting combs 

 of bees, with strong feathers. I think 

 the Pickard homemade bee brush away 

 ahead of the stout feathers. The general 

 procedure is about the same. Instead of 

 resting- the comb on the frames, I take 

 the combs by the upper corner and hold 

 it in front of the hive and with a down- 

 ward stroke of the brush throw the bees 

 down in the grass. I then treat the other 

 side the same, then brush both sides with 

 a quick motion, something like whetting 

 a scythe. In the meantime my assist- 

 ant gets another comb loose and gives it 

 a shake or two, dislodging most of the 

 bees, then passes it to me, and I dispatch 

 the dodgers in short order. 



The Pickard bee brush was illustrated 

 about two years ago. I have used it two 

 seasons, and would not be without it. It
