in the eveniu);, ufter a thunderstorm. Others 

 nmy bo reminded of like expeilences thiit they 

 liave taken the precaution to kee|)(|uli!t ahout. 

 Here's the Htory In Mr. KuotV own words: 



With my usual caution after such a sti/rin I 

 blow smoke into the entrance of one hive, re- 

 moved the cover, ami was ahoul to pull out a 

 frame from the brooii-nest. It was toward 

 diisli or I should, perhaps, lutNe noticetl that 

 a lot of hees were slanditi^^ hi^rli up on their 

 let,rs, nervously twistintr this way atui that, 

 ready for an onslauplit. At all events, the 

 onslaught came. It ijcin;^ very warm, as be- 

 fore stated, I had nothing' oti but one thick- 

 ness of clothint;. and linen trtmsers at that — a 

 fact that those bees were not slow to discover, 

 rnfmtunately. 1 had hunt,' the smoker on one 

 side of the hive, and that was the only smoker 

 in the yard. 1 reached for the wc'apon. l)h, 

 no! they had |)Osse88ion. I retreated a few 

 paces, and waited for them to calm down. 

 The minute I showed myself ajirain. out they 

 came like hot shot, up my sleeves, an<l where- 

 ever my thin clothing touched mc they were 

 sure to tind the spot. I retreated again, and 

 waited for them to "cool olf." Again I 

 showed myself, with the same result. 



" Well, now," .said I, " I have never been 

 conc|uered by a colony yet. If I can get hold 

 of that smoker I will see who is boss." But 

 the minute I got anywhere near the hive to 

 get my weajion, that moment they would rush 

 out. I finally got behind a big apple-tree 

 which was conveniently near, and with a long 

 screw-driver I reached the point of it into the 

 nozzle of the smoker, and quietly lifted it ofl 

 the hive. 



Didn't I work up abig smudge ? and didn't 

 I give 'em Bts i I smoked them at the en- 

 trance, I smoked them at the lop, I made 

 them fairly howl for mercy, and then / was 

 boss. 



Say— I was rubbing stings out of my arms 

 all night. I was stung so much I did not 

 really know where I had been hit until an 

 itchy spot would remind me there was, may 

 be, a sting located thereon. 



Honey in Oil-Cans. 



The Rocky Mountain Bee Journal endorses 

 the position of this journal after the follow- 

 ing fashion : 



We hope none of our readers will risk put- 

 ting extracted honey in cans that have once 

 been used for oil. It is well-nigh impossible 

 to remove the taint and smell of the kerosene, 

 and the honey will quickly absorb it, render- 

 ing it unfit fur use. The Editor of the Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal recently received a consign- 

 ment of honey in second-hand oil-cans, much 

 to his disgust and loss. He comes down 

 pretty hard on the thoughtless consignor in 

 an editorial. None too hard, however, when 

 one considers not only the financial loss, but 

 the incalculable damage done to the extracted 

 honey market by such worthless stuff reach- 

 ing the consumer's table.
