loore's Queen-Rearing Apiary. 



By Fred W. Muth. 

 HE PHOTO I am sending, is 

 that of Mr. J. P. Moore's 

 apiary, at Morgan, Ky. This 



record>s are kept l>y means of the 

 •slate system. On account of this 

 elevation of his nuclei, Mr. Moore can 

 work all da.v without tiring or strain- 

 ing his back. When I visited him 

 early in the summer, he liad some 

 400 nuclei and 2(J0 odd colonies in full 

 sway. 



In the foreground of the picture 

 you will notice our esteemed friend 

 W. Z. Hutchiuvson; to the right and 

 rear of Mr. Hutchinson is Mr. John 

 C. Frohliger. Secretary of the Hamil- 

 ton County Bee-Keepers' Association. 

 Directly in the rear of the latter gen- 

 tleman, is Mr. Moore, but unfortunate-

 have ever seen. Mr. Moore is known 

 ly his friends and neighbors ais "Bee

 [ueens. He is a man of system, which 

 lay easily be discerned on the picture, 

 lis nuclei are elevated two feet above 

 he ground, one at each corner of a 

 quare stand, in the center of which 

 aay be seen a ten-frame colony. His 



but since I happened to be the photo- 

 grapher, I will try to say that Mr. 

 Moore's modesty is the cause, for Ids 

 multitude of friend.s will agree with 

 me when I «ay he is extremely mod- 

 est. Mr. Moore's son Hubert, may be 

 seen to the rear of Mr. Hutcliinson. 



Mr. Moore says his bees actually 

 work on the red clover. He is a 

 Christian, and I believe aim.
