THE A ME BIO AN A PICUL Ti lllS T. 



When the A-ofu-egian Bee Journal 

 came to liand containing the obituary 

 of tlie late Ivar S. Young the Apt was 

 obHged to hunt up some one who could 

 translate the article. The same paper 

 that contained the news of the death of 

 INIr. Young also had a fine likeness of 

 him . A young Norwegian was found in a 

 store in Salem, Mass., and when shown 

 the paper at once recognized the likeness 

 as that of a man he had met in Chris- 

 tiania, Norway, nearly every day for 

 several years. 



Goodness ! talk about the dark Car- 

 niolans swarming themselves to death^ 

 just read the following : 



Mr. Robert McEavcu says that lie had a 

 colony of Italian bees that cast a swarm 

 on June 10, a second swarm on June 20, 

 and a third on June 22. The third s-warm 

 left for parts unknown ; tlie first and 

 second swarms each swarmed twice, and 

 the old colony cast two SAvarms in July. 

 Besides, Mr. McEwen says he got forty 

 pounds of section honey from the old hive.
