humani ty claims regard i beg leave to communi cate it through your paper fhould you deem it worthy a place in it in the evening when the bees have re tired take the hive from its land spread a tablecloth on the ground set the hive on it placing fomethiiig under to raife it three or four inches then draw up the corners of the cloth and fallen them tight around the middle of the hive leaving it loofe be low that the bees will have fufficient room to remain between it and the hive then raife the lid of the hive a little and blow in the fmokc from a fegar a few puffsof which as it is very difagrteable will drive them down 5 continue raising the lid gradually blowing in the fmrke all round and in a few minutes it will be found that they have all gone out of the hive you may then take off the lid and cut away as much of the huney as you may think proper if the operation be performed in he beginning of july you may take nearly all an there will be lime enough to provide a fufficieo- cy for tleir fupport during the inter ac foon as you have taken the honey pirt on the lidloofen the cloth and fpread it out and in an hour or two the bees will have returned into the hive it my then be replaced on the stand and on tht folic w- ing day they will be found at work as ufual thr3 method is very simple and prefer able to that fometimes praftifed of driving the bees into another hive as you get all the honey and moreover the new comb which is dill empty and the young bees not yet out of the cells are preferred there is alfo danger in driving of their not liking their hew habitation and in that cafe fallying out and making war upon their neighbors the above method has frequently been practised by my f elf and others and have always found it to do well amator mell1s washington j
