Beginning Beekeeping 
I ant a boy 11 years old and wish to 
become a bee owner. I have caught three 
swarms of bees. How would you build a 
beehive; size, honey racks and brood 
chamber? How can I tell the queen bee? 
How would you keep them in Winter and 
Summer? J- s. 
Onondaga Co., N. Y. 
I recommend that this boy secure a 10- 
frame standard hive, complete. This he 
can use as a pattern. It is very impor¬ 
tant in building up a bee business that 
everything shall fit. One may not swear, 
but it is liable to make you think of some¬ 
thing to find some frames just too large to 
go into the hive, so be accurate in your 
work. Any kind of lumber will do to 
start with. Bees will store just as much 
honey in hives made of packing cases 
from the store as in the most elaborate 
hives. 
You do not state what sort of boxes or 
kegs the bees are now in, hut it is doubt¬ 
ful about getting the queen to lay up in 
an upper case so late in the season (as 
per method described in The R. N.-Y. a 
short time ago). This works early in the 
season, about the time the queen reaches 
the peak of her laying, but may not work 
now; so if you want to transfer this 
Summer you' will have to drive the bees 
out of their present quarters up into a 
box or their new hive, and then cut out 
the combs and tie into the frames. 
Bees winter very well here if packed 
with 4 in. of planer shavings all around, 
and 8 or 10 in. on top. Of course you will 
have to arrange' a passage full width of 
hive % in. deep for bees to get out 
through the packing. We leave only 
about % in. Opening for Winter; after it 
begins to get cold we close down a cleat, 
with this small entrance cut out. 
After you have studied a good bee hook 
(like ABC and X Y Z of Bee Culture), 
you will see that the queen is considera¬ 
bly larger and longer than the workers. 
When I first began I found considerable 
difficulty in finding the queen, but by 
keeping constantly at it was able to find 
her without much difficulty. Italians are 
much easier to find, as they spread out on 
the combs, whereas the Black bees are apt 
to run all over the frames and bunch up, 
so sometimes it is best to shut up the 
hive and look again after they have 
quieted down. 
We begin by taking out a frame on one 
side of the hive. Of course, glance at it. 
but the queen is not usually close to the 
side of the hive. Now, as you lift out the 
next frame, look at the one that is to 
come after; every time you lift out a 
frame look at the next one before looking 
at the back side of the one you have in 
your hands, and many times you will see 
her. The queen seems to realize her im¬ 
portance to the colony, and many times 
will keep just ahead of you until she 
reaches the side of the hive. As your 
eyes become trained you will just glance 
at the comb before setting it against the 
side of the hive and you will usually find 
her before she gets to the opposite side of 
the hive. Of’course there is one chance 
in 10 that she may be on the first frame. 
We look up all our queens every Spring 
and clip all new ones and drive a tack m 
some part of the hive to indicate the age. 
The better the queen the nearer the top 
we drive the tack. G. w. B.

Syrup for Feeding Bees 
I have 28 colonies of bees and would 
like a recipe for making syrup to feed 
them. I make it the following way : One 
part water and two parts sugar ; dissolve 
and bring to a boil; cool and feed. This 
soon hardens in sugar or candy. I think 
it would be better for the bees to remain 
syrup. E. F. 8. 
Forest Hill, Md. 
We have had the same trouble in the 
past. We now use about 20 per cent 
more water, and after the sugar is thor¬ 
oughly dissolved we dissolve a teaspoon 
of tartaric acid in a little cold water and 
stir it in and heat for a short time. This| 
amount of acid we use for a common j 
washboiler of sugar syrup. The recipe 
for this is one teaspoon for each 20 lbs. | 
of sugar, but we have never had any 
granulate with us when used as above. 
Some use 25 to 80 per cent honey in the 
mixture, but it seems safer to use all 
sugar, as there is absolutely no danger of 
carrying disease through sugar, and bees 
winter well on it, but where bees have 
nothing but sugar they are unable to 
raise brood until they can get honey.

Ford facts are stubborn 
Wherever fire departments stubbornly insist up¬ 
on efficiency—wherever truck owners stubbornly 
insist upon promptness—wherever taxicab opera¬ 
tors stubbornly insist upon economy — there you 
will find Mobiloil “E” the favorite oil for Ford 
engines. 
Do you believe in experience? The Vacuum Oil 
Company, which manufactures Mobiloil “E”, has 
58 years of it. 
Do you believe in specialization ? In all those 
years this company has specialized only in lubri¬ 
cation — not in gasoline and lubricants. 
Do you believe in scientific practice ? The Vac¬ 
uum Oil Company’s Board of Automotive En¬ 
gineers has studied each new Ford model under all 
conceivable conditions of operation. The individual 
engineers on this board have automotive experi¬ 
ence which averages 13/^ years per man. 
With a constantly growing fund of Ford lubri¬ 
cating experience — in all the world’s climates, 
1 over every possible kind of road, and in every type 
of service •—• Mobiloil “E” has been made even 
better as the years have passed by. 
This fact is amply borne out by the ever-grow¬ 
ing number of testimonials which come to us from 
Ford owners the world over. 
There is no substitute for Mobiloil “E” because 
there is no substitute for the superior experience 
and intensive specialization which have produced it. 
That stubborn fact will work to your advantage 
from the moment you begin to use Mobiloil “ E ”. 
For the differential of your Ford car use Gar- 
f oyle Mobiloil “ CC ” or Mobilubricant as specified 
y the Chart of Recommendations. 
Fair Retail Price— 30c a quart from bulk 
When the dealer sell&a quart of Gargoyle Mobiloil for less 
than 30c, he does not make his fair, reasonable profit. Lower 
prices often accompany substitution of low-quality oil for 
genuine Gargoyle Mobiloil. 
Prices are slightly higher in Canada, the Southwest and 
the Far West.
