4. Yes, provided you do not leave it to start 

 robbing in the morning. 



5. No, except to annoy the operator by 

 crawling over his hands and biting. There 

 are, however, ants in the South that ruin 

 whole colonies; and even where you live 

 there is a very large kind that honey-combs 

 bottom-boards. 



Starting With Bees 



I am a novice in the bee-business, having 

 just started this year. 



I began by buying one colony of a bee- 

 keeper close by, and the combs are fo built 

 that I can not get the frames out to examine 

 them, so I can not tell whether they have 

 started any queen-cells or not, and do not 

 know whether they will swarm in a day or 

 two or a month. 



This has been a very cool spring, but we 

 have had a few nice days, and it has not been 

 so cool but that the bees could fly nearly 

 everyday. But when we would have a nice 

 day the bees would come out and fly around 

 the front of the hive so one could hardly see 

 it. It has been nice for nearly a week, and 

 the bees are not flying around the hive now, 

 but seem to be working. Do you think they 

 have swarmed and left, or that the last few 

 warm days have brought the flowers out and 

 they are in the field working? White clover 

 is nicely in bloom (June 3) , and also a good 

 many wild-flowers. KaKsas. 



Answer.— It is hard to be positive about it. 

 It may be that the bees tried to swarm on the 

 days when they were so thick on the hive, and 

 some defect prevented the queen flying with 

 them ; and it is possible that they were out 

 for a play-spell. If the bees were so thick on 

 the front of the hive that they actually cov- 

 ered it from sight, they were probably swarm- 

 ing — that is, they had swarmed out, and you 

 saw them when they had returned.
