An insect thus called has been making We
rv destructive ravages among the Bees in
Virginia. and in other parts of the country,
BY DESTROYING them in the Hive, and thus
cutting of the supply of Honey and Wax, so
comfortable and almost necessary i'll rural

whatever is connected with Rural Econo-
my, has furnished US with the following
recipe for preventing the destructive in

Take two boards, Of an inch thickness,
each, perforate the one in IL or 20 places
with an half inch aug,:r, place this board
upon the other, mark the places opposite to
these holes when laid on the other board
then bore this marked board one third thro' ,
on the upper side i'll the marked places, with
a two inch augcr, then place the board con-
tanning the small holes on the top OF the 9TH
er, and put the hive upon thcm.-Ihc mill
! Ter, or bee worm, when, he enters the hive,
seeks a place, or is interrupted by the bees,
to deposit his eGrs; the cavity formed as
above, affords convenient place; the boards
are to be rcnoved twa Or three times a
week, and the eggs brushed from the holes
This course will prevent the ravagcs OF tAe
