will be constructed at once, the same as if the bees had 

 swarmed out in the natural way. 



The above cut represents a fumigator, as described by 

 Dr. Bevan. I do not approve of it, but I give it a place, 

 and they who choose can make use of it. a, is the fun- 

 nel, with a hole in the end to let out the smoke ; h, is a 

 plate extending across the fumigator, perforated full of 

 holes to admit the passage of the smoke only ; c, is a 

 cylindrical portion of the box, three inches in diameter, 

 and three and a half long, in which the tobacco is placed , 

 d, is the lid, which is received into the box when the 

 tobacco has been lighted ; e, is the tube which should 

 be adapted to the size of the bellows-pipe. The whole 

 is made of tin, having the joinings soldered. It is used 

 by inserting the bellows-pipe in the tube, and then the 

 action of the bellows drives the smoke out through the 

 funnel. 



They who are accustomed to smoking, often perform 

 any operation requiring the aid of smoke, simply by di- 

 recting a few whiffs from a cigar or pipe, into the hive, 

 where the removal is to be effected. 



The following cut shows a much better, and less ex- 

 pensive fumigator.
