three hives on a hand-cart at one time, and 

 had little trouble with the exception of one 

 a story hive that was full of bees in both 

 stories. In lifting it over, or rather through, 

 a barbed-wire fence the top wire caught the 

 cover of the hive and lifted it off, and the 

 bees got out on my assistant in such a manner 

 that he had to desert me. So that left me 

 with the hive balanced on the fence, the top 

 off, bees boiling out, no smoker, no veil, no 

 help. Well, I had to take my medicine. It 

 was a pretty strong dose, but I finally got 

 them set down. They were slightly jarred in 

 the operation, and I have not had any rheu- 

 matism since. Moral : Don't move bees with- 

 out fastening the hive top and tiottom 

 securely. 



Have any of the bee-keepers seen two 

 queens fight, or is it such a common thing 

 that it is not mentioned? It is not common 

 to me, so I will try to tell my experience in 

 that line. I got to the bee-yard about !i 

 o'clock one morning (it is 5 miles from 

 home), and walking across the yard I noticed 

 a few bees fly ni'- I looked down to see what 

 called so many in one place, and I found one 

 of the queens tliat I had clipped. I did not 

 know where slio came from, so I took her to 

 a hive that I tlumght to be queenless, and 

 put her on top of the frames. The bees came 

 up and appeared to be glad of her presence. 

 They seemed to feed her and clean her off. I 

 left them for a K w minutes, then went back 

 to the hive, aD'l lifting out the frame I sup- 

 posed she was ua, I found her and an inferior 

 black queen .iliout one inch apart, going 

 toward each other. The black was the 

 quicker of the i wo. She jumped against the 

 yellow queen, 1. nocked her on her side, and 

 stung her. Fbed Ttler.
