. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. VOL. LVIII—NO. 2 HAMILTON, ILL., FEBRUARY, 1918 MONTHLY, $ A YFAR ON THE SUPPLY MAKER'S TRAIL No. 1.—Making Hives and Sections BY FRANK C. PELLETT THE boss down at the office is al- ways thinking up something new to keep the staff corre- spondent busy. When the mail man comes I find it is always well to have my hat handy, for there is no telling where he will be sending me next. Xot long ago he got the idea that maybe the read- ers" of the Ameri- can Bee Journal might be interest- ed in knowing how bee supplies are made. He ac- cordingly wrote to me to see what I could find out about the making of bee- hives, smokers, ex- tractors, honey containers and a few other things of use to the bee- keeper. The idea was all right, and I started in very dutifully to see what there was to be seen around the different factories. But neither the boss, nor I either, for that matter, counted on some of the plans of the women folks at our house. Oh, yes, I heard the wife and her unmarried sister whispering mysteriously about gowns and preachers and other things that have to do with wed- dings, but I was entirely too much interested in finding out how bee supplies are made to pay much at- tention to what they were doing. Now. when a fellow starts out to in- vestigate anything having to do with bees, he can never tell how long he will be gone. These' good women folks felt very sure that I would get around in plenty of time, since I was not going so very far anyway. Well, after two or three weeks they got uneasy for fear that I would stray off.
