THE BEE MOTH. 75 



stroy the moth worms, and prevent damage to the 

 combs, if they receive attention within a few days 

 after tlie eggs are hatclied ; but if the worms are 

 suffered to remain for any considerable length of 

 time, the combs will be badly daxnaged, if not en- 

 tirely ruined. In protecting honey or empty comb 

 from the bee moth in warm weather, every bee 

 keeper should recollect that eternal vigilance is the 

 price of success ! With the Controllable Hive and 

 New System of Bee Management the true condition 

 of stocks is known at all times. The stocks are very 

 populous in July and August, which is the time the 

 bee moth is most numerous about the hives. I 

 never had a stock damaged by the bee moth since I 

 adopted my present system of bee management.
