for they staid just about an hour and 

 then came out again. 



Then I g-ot stung- in the hair, and my 

 troubles began. The animals couldn't 

 reach thru, so left the poison in my 

 hair, and every bee I came near after 

 that thought I had been into some 

 meanness, and needed a popping. I 

 dared not go within a rod of the flying 

 bees on penalty of getting one or more 

 in my hair. 



They went back to the same place 

 they clustered in the first time. I didn't 

 have any more hives, so I tried to drive 

 them back to the old hive by sprink- 

 ling them with water with the spray 

 pump, and gave them an awful duck- 

 ing. But they didn't go back worth a 

 cent, and I got a stick and jarred them 

 off. Didn't go back then, either. And 

 some of them were so wet that they fell 

 plump into the grass, and it took a full 

 hour for them to get out and go back 

 to the cluster. 



When they got settled. Glen and a 

 neighbor, Thompson by name, went 

 up to cut off the limb. The bees had 

 settled on one limb and a twig of 

 another, so when they went to take it 

 down the twig pulled out and pulled 

 about half the cluster off. Thompson 

 was holding the limb until Glen should 

 get on the ladder. But the bees began 

 to pop, pop, bang ! and said neighbor 

 jumpt and shook off half of the remain- 

 ing bees, and Glen jumpt on the ladder 

 real quick. Then he took the limb and 

 walkt down without a sting, while 

 Thompson solemnly affirms that he got 

 a dozen. I had to get a pail of water 

 and wash my hair out before they 

 would let me alone. 



The flying bees came down and be- 

 gan to cluster ag-ain, so Glen took them 

 up on an old chicken-coop, and sat 

 there for about an hour while they set- 

 tled again. In the meantime — and a 

 mean time it was — I got a frame of un- 

 sealed brood and put into the hive with 

 the old combs.
