Indeed it would not surprise me if the writer of " Oap- pings" were even to quote Aristotle or some other ancient classic as an early authority on the subject. However, dur- ing the many years that I have regularly perused the Bee Journal, I believe I am safe in saying that it has not appeared in its pages, and therefore may be as new to many other bee-keepers as it is to me. The material in question is a prepara- tion sold by most chemists, known as Hazeline. I first applied it to a sting on my hand within a minute or two of receiv- ing the sting: no swelling resulted, and I felt no effect whatever from the sting. With me a bee sting takes what I sup- pose is a fairly normal coiirse.
