MWt. T. S. BULL,. 



A face, familiar to those wlio attend 

 conventions in and around Cliicago, is 

 presented to our readers in this issue 

 of the American Bee Journal. It is 

 that of Mr. T. S. Bull, of Valparaiso, 

 Ind., who is an enthusiastic bee-keeper 

 and extensive honey-producer. We 

 have also secured the following ac- 

 count of his life, which will be read 

 with interest by all : 



Theodore S. Bull was born in Cayuga 

 county, N. Y., on March 20, 1829. 



MR. T. S. BULL. 



When about four years of age, he went 

 with his parents to Onondaga county, 

 and in 1850 from thence with his par- 

 ents to Porter county, Ind., where he 

 still resides. 



Mr. Bull was reared on a farm, and 

 received a good common school edu- 

 cation. He became interested in bees 

 when seven or eight years of age ; and 

 one day, upon hearing some older 

 members of the family telling of a bee- 

 tree having been cut, he learned where 

 the tree was located, and after prepar- 

 ino' a box, went in search of the bees. 

 He secured about a quart. 



Not knowing how to winter the 

 bees, he was advised to bury them, as 

 they would live without food. They 

 all died. His interest survived, how- 

 ever, and grew with him. When there 

 were bees in sight, he gazed at them 

 as long as eye could sec. 



When he was about 16 years old, his 

 father, seeing his great love for bees, 



bought a colony, and also about this 

 time a patent hive, containing three 

 bi'ood-cliambcrs, one above the other, 

 all iutercliangealtle. From this time 

 until he rcnioveil from New York, he 

 spent all his leisure hours in studying 

 and examining the work of the bees. 



Some two years after coming to 

 Indiana, he saw a swarm of bees going 

 into a liollow tree. He managed to 

 secure them, and kept them in a bo.\- 

 liive, with fair success, until the fall of 

 1871, at which time he saw the mov- 

 able-frame hive (called the " Cottage 

 Bee-Hive"), and became very entliusi- 

 astic; He had the bees transferred 

 the same fall — 5 colonies during the 

 forepart of August, and one colony 

 in September. They all wintered suc- 

 cessfully. 



The next spring he purchased 3 col- 

 onies — the onl)- ones he ever bought. 

 In the fall of 187:i he had 17 colonies, 

 which increased (never losing a colony 

 in wintering), until he had nearly 100 

 colonies. Since that time his losses 

 have been light. He now keeps about 

 100 colonies, which produce several 

 thousand pounds of excellent honey 

 annually. His honey being of the 

 finest quality, it is exported to most of 

 the Northern States, and is sold in all 

 the home markets. 



Mr. Bull is an energetic farmer, 

 having a pleasant and commodious 

 country residence, and a large farm, 

 gained by industry and good manage- 

 ment. 



He was married on Sept. 20, 1855, 

 to Mrs. Ann M. Mason. There were 

 born to them ten children, seven of 

 whom (five sons and two daughters) 

 survive ; all but one are married, and, 

 with his ten grandchildren, are living 

 within a few miles of the paternal 

 roof. 



Mr. Bull is of medium size, of san- 

 guine, nervous temperament, and fond 

 of reading solid literature, especially 

 that on bcc-culturc, of which class he 

 takes the principal periodicals. He is 

 a pleasant conversationalist, but has 

 never had any taste for writing or 

 composition.
