HIVE, AND HOW TO HANDLE IT 105 



If the bees attack you, move slowly away, smoking 

 them off as you go. 



If a bee annoys you by her threatening attitude 

 for some time, kill her ruthlessly. 



If stung by a bee, rub off the sting, instead of 

 pulling it out with the nails of the thumb and fore- 

 finger and thus forcing more venom into the 

 wound. 



Ammonia applied to the wound made by a bee- 

 sting will usually afford immediate relief.
