The following observations were publlslied"~b'y
George Morgan,,Esq. formerly of VP-rii~.“ce=
ton, N. J. ‘ [Hudsqn Bab.
.My boxes wefe made of well-seasoned wood,
10 inches square in the clear, in pairs, with.a ‘com-
munication at the sides, for the bees to pass free-
ly from one box to another. A pane of glass, 7 by
9, with a sliding shutter, may he put into the back
of each box, through which you may see the
, bees at work. Any person who can handle a
saw and hammer, may make the boxes at small‘ _
expense. ,
The communications between the boxes are
at top and bottom : those at top should be three
inches long, and half an inch wide, to serve as
reets or alleys betwixt the hives. -
The communication at the bottom should be
five inches lOIlg',’aI‘ld tliree fourths of an incl:
deep, so as afford free passage from one hive to
the other. .
The mouth of the hive may be from three to
ten inches long, and half an inch deep. In the
busy season, this wide entrance facilitates the
tracted at pleasure in autumn.
Early the next morning after having a swarm
of bees in, I clcse the door of the hive till the
bees begin to work in it ; when I-open it to fa-
cilitate their industry. ‘ I
Each box of the above dimensions will contain
30 pounds of honey. An early swarm, in a fa-
vourable situation and season, will fill two boxes;
and cast on several swarms, each of which ‘will
fill two boxes with honey.
As winter approaches all the bees collect them-
selves into one box,and will leave the other, with
its contents, to the use of the owner, whose prof-
it in good seasons, will be 90lb. of honey, and sev-
eral additional swarms for every stock kept over
the preceding wiiiter—-15 to 20 lbs. of honey are
sufiicient to keep a stock over our longest win-'
ters ; -but _I leave them 30 pounds. _
Thus I acquire the purest honey, wiilioiit the
use of the match, or any trouble in dividing or
disturbing the bees ; for on turningup the hives
(which have no glasses,) I discover immediately
that in which the bees are collected, and I carry
off the other without a ‘single bee in it. I did
not find it necessary to-make use of the glass
mentioned as above, in order to know in which
box the bees were. I found them always in the
boxesl hived them in clustered around the queen.
Instead of the panes of glass, I made a hole in
the top of each box, 3 inches in diametar, set :1
quart glass tumbler with the mouth downward
over it, to prevent the sun from melting the wax.
A ‘It was pleasing to see the tumbler filled with
the best of honey in '.~. few weeks.

filled, I cut the comb with a thin-bladed knife,‘iii
the evening, set the tumbler to the side of the
bee box, struck with the knife the sides of the
tumbler ; and in a short. time the bees left the
comb to the satisfaction of the spectators.

witnessed in this section of our country. The
wind continued to blow from that direction flu‘

literally stript of their foilage. ‘Windows were
completely shattered, and the roofs of many of
the houses in town were broken through by the
hail stones, which, when they struck the earth,
caused the mud to fly 10 or £5 feet. The pray-
ers and supplications of the allrightcd to God for
mercy, together with the galloping of horses,-
which broke from the waggons, and the stands to
which they were fastencdfsce-king in vain for a
shelter, rendered the scene truly awful. ‘Some

hurricane ceased, were lictwcen 7 and 8 inches in
