THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL, 



Nov. 25, 



trouble generally with cabbage palmetto 

 houey, perhaps for the reason that it is 

 usually stored during rainy weather. 

 Will Mr. Poppleton kindly tell us if 

 there would be any advantage In ex- 

 tracting this honey before it was capt, 

 or is his plan of drawing ofT from the 

 bottom of deep receptacles the best way 

 to treat it ? C. S. Harris. 



Volusia Co., Fla., Nov. 8. 



Not the Whippoor-will. 



To save the reputation of a useful 

 feathered friend, I must take exception 

 to the report of T. S. Ford as copied 

 from Gleanings, on page 695, in rela- 

 tion to the " whippoorwill or night- 

 hawk " eating bees. 



First, it is not the whippoorwill to 

 ■which be refers (tho a great many peo- 

 ple make the mistake of calling it so), 

 but thechuck-wills-widow (Autrostomus 

 Carollnensis, family Caprimulgidaj) of 

 the same genus and family, but. not the 

 same species as the former. 



Second, its habits would preclude the 

 possibility of its eating b^es as a habit. 

 I have known and studied this bird for 

 years, and never knew of it hunting in- 

 sects until after sundown, when all 

 honest bees should be at home. 



I quote the following from the writ- 

 ings of Theo. Gill, upon this genus : 



"The chief distinctive characters in 

 contrast to the nighthawks, are found 

 in the bristled gape and the form of the 



tail 'The 3orum on species, and 



presumably the others, are nocturnal In 

 their habits, remaining silent and keep- 

 ing within the shady recesses of the 

 forest during the daytime. As soon as 

 the sun has disappeared and the 7iig;it 

 insects are In motion,' they leave their 

 retreats for exercise and in search of 

 food. In the early part of the evening, 

 and then only for a brief period, they 

 emit the peculiar cry which is Intended 

 to be exprest by the popular name." 



Mr. Ford's description of the mouth of 

 the bird he shot is all right, but I for 

 one should like to have him examine 

 more closely and see if he is not mis- 

 taken as to this bird being the one 

 which destroyed his bees.
