&LEANINCrS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Mar. 1 



Then two men in this way can carry a good 

 deal more than twice the load that each man 

 can handle separately, and a great deal 

 easier. 



As it is time, or soon will be, to take bees 

 out of the cellar, those who are not already 

 familiar with the plan can very easily try it. 



When one has to carry in his own bees alone 

 he is compelled to pick up a hive and then 

 bend back like a half- moon. This is decid- 

 edly awkward, both for lifting and walking; 

 and, besides, the center of gravity has to be 

 thrown clear out of a good easy walking po- 

 sition.
