My neighbour and fellow bee-keeper, Lce-CorpL A. Chudley, of Hanwell, who is now serving with the Egyptian-Pales- tine Forces, asked me, before his de- departure, to close down his hives at the proper time. This I did, giving to each stock a cake of candy. A short time since, Miss Chudley. his sister, called on me and told me that, having examined the hives to see whether a further supply of candy were necessary or no, she could find no candy on any one of thorn. Thereupon she supplied all with a fresh cake, and wondering whether the bees would take to it, examined again a few days later, when, to her surprise and dismay, she found that all the candy last put on had been stolen, the quilts be- ing in disorder. I hesitate to think that any bee-keeper can have been guilty of this repeated act of theft, which I cannot suitably qualify in your columns. Rather would I believe that some ingenious but degenerate candy fiend, hard hit by the price of confec- tionery, has hit upon this means of con- tinued indulgence. If I be wrong, and. after all, it be a keeper of bees who has thus robbed a worthier member of our craft, well, T don't wish any haiim to his bees but as to their owner—my New Year wishes for him are seasonable and in keeping with his act.—A.
