. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. 198 June, 1916. American Hee Journal was not the case, for the third season showed a total of 140 swarms. On Oct. 9, for instance, 14 swarms issued, and from the 13th to the 18th of the same month five swarms issued daily. This was during foggy and drizzling weather. Strange to relate it was fully two months later before the main honey flow started; then 19 more swarms issued. L.\BOR. The farm laborer in Chile receives in wages from 15 to 25 cents a day, according to the fluctuations in the rate of Chilian exchange. The laborer must board and house himself. The working day consists of 12 hours. In return, however, he receives from two to four acres of land to dwell upon. What, then, was the necessity for a power extractor, when 20 cents would revolve the baskets for 12 hours. It is also no expense to keep the weeds down, in and about the apiary. Felix Soto (Fig. Ill), the writer's best bee hand, learned beekeeping at 20 cents a day. This salary soon re- ceived a substantial raise. When Felix could stock nuclei, introduce queens, etc., he felt quite proud of being a 30- cent rnan. Today he has full charge of apiary San Antonio, and there is every reason to believe that he is suc- ceeding. Apiary Marruecos (Fig. IV) another apiary of 300 colonies is now handled by a Japanese, A. Hatae, who is a very careful and thorough student of apiculture. Although some of this cheap labor is good, there is a great deal that is bad. Slost of the help cannot be trusted. The writer soon found that two good sized padlocks, one on either end of his solar wax extractor, were the only means of protection. In apiary San Antonio there were no less than 11 locks and keys necessary. With all these precautions, however, the writer was caught napping. One night he left just outside the extracting house a super full of dry brood combs, think- ing that nothing in the world would. KIG. MARRUECOS CONTAINING 300 ON CONCRETE BASIS . BUT
