American "Bee Journal 



Bee Journal, some clouded bee hives in imi 

 laiion of the smoke of the pine knots of 

 about so years aiio. In this picture it looks 

 as though the clouded markings were done 

 with paint and brusli W. Z Hutchinson 

 also used to paint hives in that manner. But 

 the best way to do it Is with a kereosene 

 lamp. Make a chimney of tinto fit the lamp 

 that runs up slim to the ton. and having the 

 holeatlhetop about ~t< or b inch in diame- 

 ter. Then after the hive is painted white 

 and before the paint has had time to dry. 

 hang the hive up on a pet; so that the lamp 

 can be passed back and forth under it. 

 Keep the b'aze of the lamp turned low until 

 a hive is ready to be smoked, and then turn 

 on the blaze suddenly ;ind a cloud of black 

 smoke will be produced. Raise the Inmp up 

 and down so as to make the cloud dark in 

 some places and light in others. Keep the 

 lamp wick turned low while arranging an- 

 other side to be smoked. 



In this way hives can be nainted as beauti- 

 fully as the frost on a window or the snow- 

 fl^keon paper or granite ware. I painted 

 hives that way for about 20 years, but of late 

 I have come to the conclusion that hives 

 should not be painted at all It is pleasant er 

 to see fine healthy colonies than the neat- 

 ness that paint produces

The Foulbrood Situation 



On page 48 of the P'ebmary issue of the 

 American Bee Journal, Mr l..ouis H Scholl 

 gives the old. old story we hear so often of 

 lack of appropriation from the State to 

 carry on our inspection work. He savs they 

 have a good law in Texas; all are. but the 

 trouble with all laws so far is that there is 

 nothing binding on the beekeeper. 



The inspector calls upon him. inspects his 

 bees, finds a little disease, shows the bee- 

 keeper how 10 recognize the iisease. treats 

 the diseased colonies and in'"orm<; the bee- 

 keeper that he must have his yard clear of 

 disease when he next comes, or he will burn 

 the diseased colonies up (which I under- 

 stand, by law. he has no right to do. whether 

 diseased or not . 



The inspector takes several dollars of the 

 State's money for his jib. The beekeeper 

 may thereafter entirely neglect his bees 

 Heei;her does not care or depends upon 

 the inspector to look after them. The in- 

 spector has simply done a little " necessary 

 work." and used a little " moral suasion " on 

 the beekeeper. It is evident to suppress or 

 eradicate foulbrood every beekeeper must 

 he his own inspector. We nut a license on 

 fishintr and hunting, whv not on beekeeping 

 so a man to keep bees law'ullv rnust h^ve a 

 permit to do so. On nageuss Dec. i issue 

 of Gleanings in Bee Culture! proposed a 

 new foulbrood legislation which nieasesee. 

 H this or a similar law is in force in a State 

 for sp\'erRl vears. it will have no foulbrood 

 Von*» oT th'^ present Uws will do this, at 

 lea-;l they have not H. E. HARRINGTON.
