Honey 



205 



Again, one may see a row of hives in a village yard, or 

 even in the yard or on the house-roof in a large city, where 

 the eager little workers hie them away to the parks or the 

 back yards and bring home abundant stores of sweets. The 

 present writer, while walking in a crowded part of New 

 York City, has had a handful of flowers plundered by 

 honey-bees. 



Sometimes a glass hive is attached to a school-room 

 window, where the children at any time can safely watch 

 the movements of the busy occupants. 



zAgain, the glass hive has its place in the home, affording 

 recreation to the family. 



There has been such a revival of interest in bees and 

 honey the past few years that the hive is almost as common 

 in many sections as the hen-house or the corn-crib.
