LIE fAsruRAGE OF BEEs.-Neat to the situa.
,'on OF the beehive is the consideration of the
oees pasturagc. When there is plenty of the
whitc Dutch clovcr-somctimes called honey.
sucNie-'t Is sure to be n good honey year. The
feo clover Is too deep for the proboscs OF the com
mon bce' and is, therefore, no, so useful TO them
as is generally supposed. Many lists have been
made OF bcc-ilowcrs, and Of such as should be
planted round tho apiary. NIignoncttc and
oorago, and rosemary, and bureloss, and lavender.
'he crocus for the carly spring. and the ivy flow
crs Tor tho late autumn, might help 10 furnish ..
very pretty bee garden; and the lime and the
liqmd amber, the horse chcsnut and the sallow,
would he the best trees TO plant around


Or. Bevan makes very good suggestion, that
lemon thyme should be used as an edcing for
garden walks and flower beds, instead of box,
Thrift, or daisies. That any material good, how
ever, can be done to large colony by the few
plants that, under the most favorable cifcum-
stances, can be sown around a bec-housc is of
course, out of the question. The bee is too much
OF a Ioanler 10 take pleasure in trim gardens.


1t is the wild tracts of heath and fufzc, the
broad scrcs OF bean fields and buckwhcat, the
lime avenues, .he hcdge:ow flowers, and :he
cloicr meadows that furnish his haunts and till
his cell. Still 1t may bc useful for the Young
ana weak bees To have food as near as possip'e to
Their home; and 10 those who wish 10 wa,ch
tncr HABITS, plat Of blc flowers is INDISPENSABLE
