down they were going in nicely. In the even- 

 ing when grandfather came home the first in- 

 quiry was, "Did the bees swarm?" 1 wag 

 ready to say "Yes." He said: "Did you 

 get them to alight?" I said: "Yes, they lit 

 before I got the bell, and I hived them." 

 " Well, you ought to be a bee-man," he then 

 said. 



That started the fever. When his friends 

 came in he told the story and closed by say- 

 ing, "Little John ought to be a bee-man." 

 That was no antidote for the fever, so I asked 

 him if he would sell me that swarm. He said 

 he would if I would hoe corn for him. I asked 

 him how long, and ht said, "About 2 weeks, 

 and I will teach you to make the skeps in the 

 bargain." 



It was the last week in May that we closed 

 the bargain. I took the bees home, got my 

 mother to take care of them when I was from 

 home, and 5 years later I went to a home of 

 my own. I started with 4 skeps. About this 

 time a sawmill was started in the neighbor- 

 hood, and I learned the carpenter and joiner 

 trade, so I got to making bos-hives, and quit 

 the skeps. 



About the year 1S44 a man from Vermont 

 came through Pennsylvania, selling "Week's 

 Patent Hive " — a box-hive with a chamber 

 for surplus honey. I got this hive and used 

 it for 6 years, and increased to 30 colonies. 



In the month of May, 1851, I sold my farm, 

 made a sale of stock and bees, and left Penn- 

 sylvania, coming to Lafayette Co., Wig., June 

 6, and bought a farm. Then I started out to
