ADVANCED BEE CULTURE. 



135 



Mr. E. D. Townsend, whose out-apiaries are widely scattered, 

 buries his bees or puts them in "clamps," as it is called; and where 

 the soil and location are suitable this is an excellent method of

Lake of the Woods, in the Raspberry Region of Northern Michigan. 



Perhaps few cau understand the longing there is in the heart of the author of this book to build him- 

 self a real log cabin, with stone fireplace and chimney, on the shore of some one of the beautiful little In- 

 land lakes of Northern Michigan, establish an apiary hard by, tight in the woods, and pass at least a portion 

 of each summer in that sylvan retreat. What a place to take bee-keeping friends in the autumn, when the 

 evenings could be spent around a fire of blazing pine knots in the fireplace.
