THE GENESEE FAEMER. 



sufiSces not merely for the 12,000 or 15,000 eggs 

 she may lay for a single new colony, but for ten 

 or more such broods which she may live to give 

 birth to. In addition to ovaria for the bountiful 

 elaboration of eggs, the queen is provided with 

 a seminal srfck in which fertilizing atoms derived 

 from the blood of the drone or male are stored 

 up for use during her life time. Female hornets, 

 wasps, and humble-bees begin their labors in the 

 spring without mates. 



As the starting point in bee-culture one should 

 study the anatomy and physiology of the insect, 

 and the laws of animal life generally. With this 

 information, instead of starving to death so many 

 colonies in winter for the want of proper protec- 

 tion from cold, they would be wintered safely on 

 half the honey now consumed, and the balance 

 might be sold or used in the family of the 

 apiarian. Nor is it so difficult, on most farms, 

 to provide bee-pastures as one might imagine. 

 White clover blossoms yield the finest honey ; 

 and this is an indigenous plant from Maine to 

 Texas. In the best season for collecting honey 

 two thousand swarms kept at one apiary in Ger- 

 many have all found an abundance of honey. 

 Most Americans have yet to learn how to use the 

 honey bee to the best advantage.

The Horticulturist and Journal of Rural 

 Art and Rural Taste. — This valuable Horticul- 

 tural Journal was never better, and never better 

 appreciated than during the present year. Al- 

 though it may have lost some of that exquisite 

 taste that characterized the writings of the lament- 

 ed Downing, it is far more practical, and conse 

 quently more useful, and exactly meets the grow- 

 ing wants of the thousands who are engaged in 

 the culture of fruit Every page is filled with 

 practical matter, of the utmost importance to 

 fruit growei-s — its illustrations are beautiful — the 

 paper and printing equal to our best monthlies — 

 and yet, we are sorry to say, some of these month- 

 lies, purchased and read for amusement, circulate 

 by hundreds of thousands, while really valuable 

 and equally beautiful journals, like tJie Horticul- 

 turist, only number a few thousands. Farmers, 

 these things ought not to be so, and we B])eak 

 them to your shame. Let all who cultivate fruit 

 or flowers — all those who design to improve their 

 homes — send for the Horticulturist. It merits, 

 and should receive, a large circulation. Edited 

 by P. Barry. Published by Jamks Vick, Jr., 

 llochester, N. Y., at $2 per year. Specimen num- 

 bers sent to all who apply by mail A new vol- 

 ume will commence on the first of January next 

 Let all who want the Horticulturist for next year 

 Hend in their orders early. See page 358.
