AGRICULTUR AL. From the P/ida Saburday Museum. MAXIMS TO BE ADOPTED BY THE BEE-KEEPER.. One of the most interesting books we have ever read on the subject of Bees, is that of Robert Buish, on their Natu'al History and General Manngement" The author~ differs in many respects fr-om Flu-. ber and other cefelirated Aparians, and bldly miarks out and follot#s his path. We publish below his 24th chapter, with ut howvever ailopting his setimltents' .It nay furtiish nu'merons valuab'le hints. and, lead'to further'inqniries, atnd investigationls on q-testions still unsettled, and on which our best observers uisagree. WVe have repeatedly referred to Bevans' little book on the Honey Blee, as contaiti ing the b lest information within a narrow composif antd at a low price. WVe have it conintially for sale. Buish is a holdI experimentalist, and has really tmade a very entertaining book~;'thi'. novelty olsome of his viewvs will make our Bee Breeders birush up their old recollec tions and opinions, anid inquire whether or not they be allecorrect.--Editoi-of Varmner's Ca binet. 1. A'fltve is composed of three kinds of bees. 1st The~ qneen, wbo is the only female, atnd lays every egg in the hiv~e. 2nmd. The drones, amouoting in number fom 900'to 1000, according to thle popula' tion of the hive.-They fecundate the eggs of the queen beinig the only males ia~the, hive,' and are killed by thle ,working bees at thb close of the breeding season.. - 3ad.' The common workin& bees,.whug eing of ceuter gender; take no.'hare.mt~ the procreation of their species.' Th~y collect the honey and make the wax, anld' may be calculated from 1,000 to 9,000 in every hive. ho sumuher the numbers are cosiderably' augmnen ted. HI T'he hies never allow but one queen in a hivd, vin he'is 6Tay her eggli about the end of Janiuary, gbd lisidb.aboui 6. gust or Septeimber. in1 The young quinstnever lay eggs inteparent hive. Ifthere.be not a suffi cint nlumber of hees to form a swar'm, the yon q'onS'nard killed. W.' A Swartm without drones are nol of any value when*Arnnes are wanting. abouti two or three hundred to be taken from the parent hive. V. A hive which has drones in the win ter.generally perishes. VI. A weak swarm will weigh from one to two pounds, a addling one from three to four pounds; a good one about five pounds; and an excellent one from si to eight -pounds. i1i. Bees deprived of their queen -will not work, and will perish if there be no roy al egg in the hive from which the queen can be born. ViII. The larvae of the bees are about six days in completing their growth, accor ding to the state of the weather, they then take the form of a nymph or chrysalis, in which they remain about fifteen days; when they emerge from the cell a perfect bee. IX. Eggs are hatched successively in a hive;-and when the number of bees which have emerged from the cells be greater than the hive can contain, they form what is called a swarm, which is always agcom paied by a young queen, but never by the mother queen. X There are no determined signs for the departure of a swarm. It generally takes place from the hour of ten, A. M. to about two, P. M. A swarm seldom de parts in windy weather, and never diring rain. XI. A swarm never to be put in a old hive. XII. A hive thahas thrown off one swarm will generally throw off a second, and third, the latter always to be returned to the parent hive. XIII. The greater the number of swarms the less is the quantity of honey. . XIV. The hives which throw off three swarms, generally perish in winter, unless the swarms be returned to them. XV. Swarms do not thrive well in vari large hives; the larger the hive the greater the quantity of wax and less the quantity of honey. XVI. Several swarms tinited .in one hive will furnish a greater supply of honey than if allowed to remain separate. XVIl. The first occupation of a swarm is to construct the combs, and scarcely twenty cells are made before the queen be gins to lay her eggs All' th'e combs are generally placed in a direction perpendic ular to the entrance of the hive. The in terval between each comb is about three lines. XVIII. There are o.nlj t1ireo ubstan' ces in a hive. 1st. Iloney.which is col lected from the flrwers.-2nd. Wax, form ed by an elaboration of the farina of plants. 3d. Bee-bread, which is the crude farina o1 plants not yet elaborated. ... XIX. The cellsof the combs are of dif ferent dimensions. The cells in which the common bees are bred, are a complete hexagon, and the smallest in size. The cells iu'which the drones are bred, are lar ger and irregular in their shape. The cells in' which the quieens are. bred are pla ced perpendicularly on the edges of the combs, having the opening at.the bottom and about the size of an acorn. XX. The bees never to be allowed to leave the hive during the time that snow is upon the ground. XXI. The cells which contain honey are covered with a small pellicle, and are flat- the cells-whichcontain brood are con ve*. XXII. The severer the cold the less is the consumption of food; if kept dry, there is not any cold in this climate which can affect the lives of the bees. XX1 If. The hives yhich. are.complely closed during the winter, become foul and musty, which occasions the death of the bees, independentlyor their being preven ted taking their perodical flight for the porpose of venting their faeces. XXIV. The mnortality, of bees proceeds almost always t rom'the want of provisions, or the death of the queen. XXV. The aspect of an apigry should always be to the South-east. &ge~vwith an aspect towards the north wile~wr as soon by three weeks. as ona lich 'has an aspect towardls the South. XXVI. Water inidispensabla&Eo beea; ibi naturally in the immediate vieritiyof the -hiwes.)o be artifuly'supplied. XXIl.
