We have had much zero weather lately, but 

 it is now warmer and the snow is melting

Getting Bees Out of a Chimney- 

 Feeding Bees. 



Two or three years ago my brother aslsed 

 "Our Dr. Miller", at the Chicago conven- 

 tion, the question, '' How can I get a colony 

 of bees out of a chimney without removing a 

 brick?" The Doctor answered somewhat like 

 this: " I don't know; guess the best way 

 would be to turn the chimney upside down 

 and dump the bees out ". 



Well, that might have been the simplest 

 way, it the Doctor could have sneezed a tune 

 up the chimney the waj- he did it for that 

 convention. But we had perfect success by 

 another plan, and this is the way we did it: 



We placed a hive-body on top of the chim- 

 ney, leaving only one entrauce in front of 

 the hive; then placed two frames of comb 

 containing'dead bees and a little honey right 

 over the opening in the chimney, closed the 

 hive e.xoept the entrance, fastened it with
