august IS the proper month for taking honey from the bees, and it should be done previous to the Towering of buck wheat, in order that the bees may replen- ish their stock to meet the demands of winter, and because the honey collected during the Towering of this plant, iss not generally liked as we'll as that which is collected from clover, and other flowers of the earlier pare of summer. Most people arc in the habit of taking honey from the bees at evening, thinking that in the cool ness of the atmosphere, the bees become torpid and are less likely to sting tho opp orator, whereas, he will find less resistance at mid-day, when most of the bees are abe sent from the hive, and such as return dur- ing tho operation are loaded with honey or pollon,and are not disposed to wage war, until they havo discharged their lnhds, nra- vious to which time the skilful manager will have completed his task. We are in- formed that neighboring farmer brought to this market sometime last week, the ho- ney taken from two hives ofbecs, which he sold for little over seventeen dollars What comment on the profit of keeping bees; this pocketing the arguments is what conyinces the farmer.-Ib.
