panted and dressed its wounds and wings. 

 It rested for a minute or two. and started 

 to fly. then rested again. Maddened as it 

 was by its defeat, it started again and went 

 direct to the entrance of the hive. It tried 

 to enter without stopping, but its reception 

 was very warm and pointed 1 It was at- 

 tacked from all sides at once, and they all 

 rolled to the ground in a bunch. Tbe 

 struggle lasted two or three seconds, when 

 the huHible bee tore the bees from it (like 

 the giant it was), and took its departure at 

 once, a wiser if not a more humble humble- 

 bee. J. L. BOWDISH.

Camiolan-Italian Hybrids, Etc. 



I have tested the blacks, Italians. Funics, 

 Italian and black hybrids, the Carniolaus, 

 and Carniolan Italian hybrids. The last 

 are the bees for me. It is true they are 

 quite given to swarming, but they are 

 hardy, winter well, are gentle, good comb- 

 builders, build up early in the spring, and 

 will go to work in sections when the Italians 

 will lay up and try to steal what the others 

 gather. 



I am thinking of trying a few 9 or 10 

 frame hives, if 1% sections will work to 

 suit. I think it will check swarming a little, 

 although they are not bad, but from choice 

 I prefer they would not swarm at all. 



My bees stored an average of 6.3 complete 

 14 ounce sections of honey per colony, 14 

 ounces each, spring count, and doubled in 

 increase. I lost b per cent, in wintering 

 last winter, but they all came out weak in 

 the spriug. What 1 lost died from the 

 effects of dysentery ; they were all affected.

Phacelia. 



I send you by mail a package containing 

 specimens of a plant in the different stages 

 of its growth, and wish to know what it is, 

 and what it is good for. It is a plant that 

 came up from a paper of mixed seeds, and 

 I do not know any name for it. I call it 

 "the bee-plant," because the bees work on 

 it so constantly. I planted it a year ago 

 last spring with other seed, and one plant 

 of that kind came up. and from the time it 

 commenced to blossom until the frost 

 killed it, the bees worked busily on it. I 

 sowed the seed, and this year have a bed 

 of it about equal to 10 feet square, and the 

 bees are almost eating it up. 



H. P. WiLLSON. 

 Bathgate, N. Dak., July 29, 



[This plant is Phacelia conqesta, often 

 known simply as phacelia. It has often 

 been commended as a honey-plant, and 

 seems to merit its good reputation. It 

 originally came from Texas.— T. J. Bub- 

 rill.] 



Fatal Bfifect of a Bee-Stin^., 



Do you know that bee stings sometimes 

 prove fatal 1 I never thought so, but I was 

 informed by a reliable man, a few days 

 ago. of the case of Harry Ayers, who died 

 from the effects of the sting of a single bee, 

 and in the remarkably short time of five 

 minutes. As 1 thought the case a rather 

 peculiar one, I took tbe names and address 

 of the physicians that examined the man 

 soon after he died. They were Drs. Cole-
