Where Bee Sheds are a Convene 

 ience. 



(By L. E. Kerr.t 



IX the majority of cases we would pre- 

 fer putting our bees out in the open, 

 on individual stands, but we have 

 lately found that not in every instance 

 is it desirable for since moving to our 

 present location we find that a hive 

 within a foot or so of the ground, on 

 an ordinary stand, will be literally 

 painted with mud from the flying sand, 

 after every rain during the dry summer. 

 For this reason we have found it con- 

 venient to put our bees under a shed. 

 Also in a city, or other place where 

 room is limited, such a shed would be 

 equally as convenient. While in the 

 country, where the bee ranch can be 

 allowed to spread itself, unrestricted, 

 it becomes a matter of ability. 



We have the advantage of those who 

 practice bringing the hives together at 

 the approach of winter in order that 

 the warmth of each hive may be of ben- 

 efit to its neighbor: for while they are 

 changing hives around and getting 

 bees hopelessly mixed up and confused, 

 we have only to pack ours away as they 

 are. The only drawback is in having 

 the hives so close together during the 

 summer; but we prefer rather to mark 

 tlie hives for the bees, than to shufifle 

 them around from one place to another 

 in preparing them for winter. Please 

 hear in mind that we have been writ- 

 nig for the benefit of the honey pro- 

 ducer. In breeding queens for the 

 trade we would want our bees on in- 

 dividual stands. We can raise hone\', 

 however, and buy our queens cheaper 

 than we can raise them.

"Stenog." Gleanings' scholarly re- 

 viewer, with reference to our February 

 Spanish department, says: "It seems to 

 have been put in type by those who do 

 not understand that language." It was 

 exceedingly kind of our critic to not 

 have said the same of the English 

 which appeared in the same number; a 

 thing he might have done, with equal 

 truthfulness.
