Af- ter these latter have liad two or three days in which to cleanse themselves the entrance should be closed at night, when the hive can be put back on its stand, and another observatory hive take its place. So in alternation each one of the two or three lots of bees can be freshened up. It goes without saying,that,if there is no honey in Uie tields, the bees should be fed occa- sionally. LIVE - BEE - DEMONSTRATION WOKK TO ADVERTISE HONEY AT THE FAIRS. In connection with an exhibit inside of the building, there should be a placard directing the visitor to a bee-show outside, as near the building as possible. This should be a demonstration of the method ( f handling live bees inside a wire cage, the operator taking them up by handfuls and forming artificial swarms. Where the two exhibits, one of honey and bee-supplies, and the bee-show itself, can be located outdoors, it will be better. The former should then be in a tempo- rary booth or tent, since it would not do to have the exhibits of wax and comb honey exposed to the direct action of the sun. The bee-demonstrating cage should be located close by, within ten or twenty feet, and, as we have ex- plained, it consists of a wire-cloth structure large enough to take in man, a hive of bees, and leave room enough to practice ordinary bee - manipulation. This cage should be elevated on a stand four or five feet above the ground—the higher the better, because there will be a great jam of people ai ound to see the man inside pick up live bees by the Norman Mondeng is on
