awer to C T 0 y sair SAIT LAKE CITY march 1880 1 i editor desera aws in read nead reading lin the EVENING NEWS anes 0 of lith I 1 find fl correspondence ened from one signing C T 11 instructing ting the people upon the subject of bf bee culture I 1 would not ta ct have relied replied to said sald correspondence did I 1 not believe it the duty of some one ond to do so as the forenamed 0 T shows great lack of understanding in ln J regard to the subject I 1 do not wish to crowd your paper with any waste of words worda or with a lengthy correspond corre correspondence spon denee dende but I 1 will come came to the rolt at ht once C wy T says that the bee keepers have had poor success the last few years on account of disease among the bees but buti I 1 will say for his information formati oll that more bees die from bad bee masters than any other otheir disease the bees beeg of utah have to contend with and that if the beer beet keepers k will just follow tho the instructions E of sald said G T many more moro bees will die dle than do at present 5 IV cco OT T ju informs lis li thata that 10 liew ew swarm should be left where they are dived hived until late in the evening then they can ban be removed to the prope place i allow me to say ehy that the above instructions show the 1 criter to know very little of the natura nature of the tho honey bee fon for jn ja a xeny very short time the bees mark marathe the place of th their ein eln nev nep new home and know of noner other elce except t the une brie tiley they came from and that la 9 now no home for the them in tm the con is the bees leave their hom home in the morning not knowing it to 0 have been moved from its plate place of or the tho previous day dayi gather a load of honey etc and then return to the location and find the hiye gone and they know nothing of its whereabouts tand taud and fly about until they die dle or return unto the parent hive now sow the new swarm swaim can III ili its ita workers in that way abid the result reb is ia t th b a Is swarm war is not 0 BO strong as it sh should ouid be the f far bette better iway pway way was is as follows As soon as wo we have the swam jato the new hive put iti where it is intended to remal re maini maine nf and all will ivill go well in the next place he says it helps helpa a swarm very much to give them a straight comb as aguede a guide gulde to build from does any man that ever kept bees booe think they need a attern pattern toworu to work from as the writing of f 0 T seems to imply that is another indication of the limited experience of your correspondent it is not in the nature of bem bees to build straight combs except under certain conditions and to induce them to build all straight combs those conditions must be complied with with give the bees plenty of room they will vill build wild crooked combs they have a reason for it which I 1 wili will hl not name at this time but in order to have straight combs give the new ne v swarm two or three straight combs not one as 0 T 11 informs us and put them into the hive put an empty frame between each of the straight combs then put a s straight board behind the last comb so that thai the bees can go between the comb and board and leave it bouncil so until the two frames are filled with comb then you can spread the combs and board noard so as to make room for one on more frame etc until you get your hive full fuli of comb just as straight as 09 the leaves of a book but care must be taken note to give them moro more comb than ahan the bees can covert tw rhe the above can ean all ali bo done dona in less time than it takes to write it it ip Js not that the bees do not know how to build as gic C T 11 seems to think but the co condition needful to 0 induce them to do so is lacking t again informs us how w ic to make i a cheap beehive bee hive he wrote some time ago to the desere newa about the same hive but it ii very evident to me that h b never used it until after his first cor res nes pon dence to io the DESERET NENVIS NEWS ashe asbe as he did not hot know what would b the result of the air chamber he tells telli u us s to 16 make until I 1 informed him bin personally SO hlll but bu t in the th e NEWS of th c it h he tells telis Us us to make an air chamber and d tells telis Us is to koput put shingles or boards av over er the co combs abs orthe or the b bees will nill fill it with combs etc ete he has earned that much sinco since his first correspond correspondence enc ene e to td the news blew S but ut if he be had bad avei ever used the hive with th the a air chamber aa as he calls it he would have known it before I 1 told him of it which he really did not but for what purpose he tells tf us to make an air chamber I 1 do not know the thid bees have no use for it neither have the bee keelie rs so I 1 say leave it off except it be ba made large enough to hold honey boxes if so it will be all right but not otherwise I 1 will winn close blose by advising your correspondent C T to spend one dollar upon a book called the A abo ABC 11 of bee Cul cui culture turey published b by A L I 1 root boot medina ohio ohl r read tho the book over and
