Tn some apiaries theré appear to he a good deal of loss from absconding swarms; from others the reports are quite emphatic that a swarm is rarely, if ever, lost.

If a hive is handled and smoked several days before, under other con- ditions, it would' swarm, it may throw aswarm. I do not know why this should be. One reason may be that under those conditions (handling and smoking) the bees fill themselves with honey, and they do the same when pre- paring for swarming.--From Farina Castoria is Dr, Samuel Pitcher's prescription for Infants 4 and Children.
