THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER. 



[August. 



A CHURCH IN WHICH BEES ARE KEPT. 



was going down the same way and 

 turned aside to see the carcass, and 

 'behold, a swarm of bees took the ribs 

 of the lion for Langstroth frames, 

 and the climate being something like 

 California's, filled tne carcass with 

 honey. Just how Samson got the 

 honey without a modern Bingham 

 bee-smoker, I don't know, but he got 

 the honey, and went on eating, and 

 came to his father and mother, and 



gave them 'and they did eat'. Out of 

 the eater came forth meat, and out 

 of the strong came forth sweetness." 

 Honey in a cold climate is sweet, 

 but in a country like California and 

 that of the Greeks or the land of 

 Canaan, it seems to me, it is still 

 sweeter. A conclusion of the matter 

 is: "H parents today would eat more 

 honey, they might have children as 

 strong as Samson."
