caused the bees to drop into the bag, from which they were 
immediately shaken into a box procured for the purpose^ 
The box was then turned over and left on the ground

to it might join their companions, and m the evening 
when the bees were quietly settled, the box was caine

always found it more convenient to take them m a bag 
and thus carry them home, than to carry a box to the 
swarm. 
On the general management of bees I can offor no re¬ 
marks. The book win, no doubt, bo found sufficient, and 
I believe many settlers will be glad to begin bee-keeping 
-tfffien they find from this Handy-book how easy and 
simple is the management, and how much pleasure and 
profit it will bring.
