Bee-keeping. — Curate. — We really cannot find time, or afford space, for the 
discussion of the several questions you submit. It may, however, interest you, and 
promote the cause, if you will direct the attention of your friends to the subjoined 
Twelve Reasons for preserving the Life of the Honey Bee, which we copy from 
the third edition of “Rustic Adornments for Homes of Taste:” — 1. Humanity 
prompts us to preserve the lives of the creatures that associate with us, and more 
especially of those that render us special service. 2. The honey harvest com- 
mences earlier in depriving hives, and is less interrupted by excessive heat or sudden 
changes of weather. 3. In depriving hives the drones are sooner expelled, and the 
labour of workers is not suspended to prepare for swarming. 4. The stocks may 
be much more rapidly increased on the depriving system, and more hives kept in 
operation. 5. Deprived honey is of higher quality than that obtained by suffo- 
cation ; it may always be had new, and free from the taint of sulphur. 6. The 
honey can be taken at the best period, and as it is wanted. 7. As swarming seldom 
takes place at the height of the honey harvest, there is no fear of the loss of swarms, 
no cause of alarm to the bee-keeper, and the work of the hive is free from inter- 
ruption. S. In the old straw-hives the same comb is used again and again for 
worker-brood, and the bees degenerate in consequence. In improved hives the 
comb may be periodically removed, and the population maintained in its natural 
vigour. 9. As the autumn bees live through the winter, their preservation con- 
duces to the success of the spring campaign and honey commissariat. 10. The 
humane treatment affords the best opportunities for the study of bee history and 
economy. 11. For purposes of ornament, depriving hives excel all othei-s ; the 
latter are restricted in design as in use. 12. The world holds the name of Herod 
in abhorrence ; therefore, let no lover of rustic life and scenery stain his hands by 
a slaughter of the Innocents.
