The cruel system Of smothering Bees may
now be totally dispensed with by a plan re-
Gently adopted with complete success it is
called ,iri.,iay, and is easily accomplished !;
thus:


At dusk, place metal pot near where
the old hive stands have new hive pre-"
pared, with cross sticks, and cream and su-
gar smeared inside; invert the old hive into
the pot and quickly place the new one over
it; tie cloth round the meeting OF both
hives, SO as to prevent any of the bees es-
Gaping; then keep striking the bottom OF the
metal pot with an iron Instrument, and IN
less than ten minutes all the bees will be
driven by the sound from the old to the new
hive; then unite the cloth, and lift the new
hive 10 the place where tue old one stood, at
the same time quickly covering the honey
hive with white cloth to prevent any ofthe
bees returning to it. In the morning, lift a
corner of the cloth, so as to make small
aperture, to let out any Of the bees that
should remain. and by striking the pot as be-
fore, they will instantly depart, and join
their companions in the new settlement. 1t
may be necessary to feed the bees we'll for
few days with sugar. and they will proceed


to work Immediately after.
