Now I will go and wash the sticki- ness from my lingers and leave you to dabble in the sugar by yourselves. Providence, R. I. Swiss Bees and Bee-Keepers BY UR. BRUNiNlcH DIFFERENT KINDS OF BEE-KEEPING. WE MAY DISTINGUISH here three kinds of bee-keeping : 1. The bee-culture of our J'rencJi speaking contrymen. They have in general the large Dadant hive, similar to the American style of hives. Their chief honey sources are the woods with the fir "abies pecti- ; which yield a great amount of honey-dew. Their bees consist chiefly of hybrids. The endeavors at queen- rearing are not marked. The honey is, as a rule, of dark color and slight aromn, but the quantity is considerable. 2. The bee-culture of German Switz- erland. Almost all of our bee-keepers have the Swiss hive, which opens at the rear. The combs are parallel with the entrance, the brood-chamber has frames 11 inches wide and 14^2 inches high. Its capacity is about 2 cubic feet. We have 2 honey-chambers with frames 'j to 'a the height of the brood- combs. The entire hive is. therefore, from 3 to 4 cubic feet. Our best honey sources are dandelion and sage. In Rheinau, I got my honey almost exclu- sively from the sage; less important are fruit trees, sainfoin and other plants. In the .Alps there are other flowers, but there also the dandelion is the most important. Sometimes we have a second crop in July from the woods, and from bear's brush " herac- ; White clover is not abundant here. We use no excluders, a good queen not going into the supers. Our favorite is the black or German bee. Our methods of queen rearing are from the German. 3. The be
