| Show 4 1 PROVO CITY june 1872 adilor deseret neus news in your issue of the appears a communication from my friends putnam thurston Tb urston and morgan which I 1 r confider con Bider unkind unjust and a rhonal personal attack upon myself pa da these men wish it to be understood that their opinion pinion is the end of controversy that they are the practical of utah I 1 and aba that t none have the right to differ with them why sir bir it is different among the bea bee keepers who write for aud and who publish our best bee journals they encourage all bee keepers to express their views but these wise men would seem to have us understand that their opinion is right and must not be ba questioned all bee keepers in tho territory should in my opinion be encouraged to extend their knowledge and experience x ermence through the columns of the MEWS NEWS us as much so as can be without intruding on your kind patrons who are not interested in inbae bee keeping now to the subject in controversy I 1 claim from knowledge gained by experience and in conversation with the beat and most successful api brians arians in the united states that we should always leave a small piece of drone comb in each hive say from six to eight inches square the gentlemen say in their reply to me I 1 seem to have forgotten the tagi fagi that they were giving instructions frogmouth from month mouth to month mouth and not for the whole year wh which ieh feh I 1 understand to imply that ansome time of the year they will tell us to leave the drone comb why not let a sufficient amount tremain audinot aud and not force the bees to the necessity of making more I 1 can tell you ayou that bees will have drones and if you yon deprive them of drone comb they will rear them in worker cells as they have done in several instances in my apiary and the drones thua thus raised will be of an ari inferior quality they tell toll us the drones are of no use except to pair with the young queen in this I 1 diller with them again it Is a well known fact among that young brood and eggs must muse have a certain degree of warmth and when there are drones ta supply that warmth the workers are released to gather supplies and for this they are useful always being in the hive except in the afternoon when it is warm and pleasant I 1 am aware that some hives bives have too many drones this we wa can prevent by not leaving them too much drone comb but follow the advice and you violate one of natures laws concerning the honey beeg bee if what has been said by my friends putnam Put naua thurston and morgan and myself shall stimulate the of utah those who do not to take some bome good and reliable bee journal and to gather information from every source possible and learn to manage their bees successfully my object will havo have been beon accomplished ace nud and I 1 am willing to accept all the ridicule to which I 1 subject myself from intelligent and experienced perien ced respectfully WM D ROBERTS SI sanitary MATTERS numerous petitions have lately been presented signed by indies bodies of citizens to the city council with regard to a public nuisance which has biow now mow reached a point when it has become coma absolutely intolerable we refer to the great numbers of teams tea ns and vehicles which dally daily crowd the streets in front of residences and places of business in the central portion of the town the petitions alluded to have been referred to city marshal john B D T mca MeA mcallisier hister who is determined to carry out with strictness the
