AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL, Hamilton, Illinois 



HOM§EHOLD 



THE HOUSEHOLD - A favorite 

 magazine in a million homes. Every 

 issue has many interesting features. 



An Embarrassing Mistake — A very 

 young wife in a strange hotel was try- 

 ing to find her husband. Thinking he 

 was taking a bath, she knocked on the 

 door of the bath-room and said: 



" Honey, are you there ?" 



And a strange masculine voice re- 

 plied severely : 



"Madam, this is not a bee-hive; it's 

 a bath-room." — Xuliotiul .\fuiilhly. 



The Bee. — The bee was born to pro- 

 vide another method for getting stung 

 besides the buying of gold bricks. We 

 have nothing against the bee, although 

 one day last summer the bee had some- 



thing against us^we think it was a 

 hypodermic needle charged with red 

 pepper. It is not right for a bee to do 

 things behind its back, and a drone- 

 bee who will get up from your anatomy 

 and offer his seat to a tired queen-bee 

 — a thorough business woman that 

 sticks to her task — is mean enough to 

 do anything. The department at Wash- 

 ington, having to do with natural his- 

 tory, ought to lock up such bees in 

 their own cells for carrying concealed 

 weapons. The bee always leaves a 

 good impression behind it. 



This beest was first discovered in 4!)2 

 Bee, see. It is made up of wings, legs, 

 and a hat pin, which is carried very 



promiscuously in its hip pocket. 



The drones will not move about in 

 hot weather, but the queen-bee does its 

 work whether it is warm or not. A 

 bee-ist with 60 queens feels that he has 

 reached the highest pinochle of success 

 in bee-culture. 



The social bees make social visits 

 continually, and the bumble-bees bum 

 around all day. Drones, like the root- 

 ers at a ball game, make all the noise, 

 but do no work. 



A farmer never gives his bees any- 

 thing for their blood because they have 

 the hives. 



Don't monkey with the buzzer, but 

 bee't it. — Kxc/iaiige.
