If the bee-keeper should happen to get stung at any time, he 

 should push the sting from the flesh by the finger nail. Any 

 attempt to pull out the sting by the thumb and finger simply 

 results in sending more poison into the flesh. The poison — 

 formic acid — is rarely dangerous, and in the course of time the 

 .bee-keeper becomes more or less immune to the same. 



It is proposed, in a further bulletin, to give advice on other 

 aspects of the subject.
