My wife, the far- mer, and I drove that night to a A 'place a few hundred yards up. - The family was all at omé of course, and I plugged the hole with moss to keep them there. Then we attached a rope to the tree as far -as 'we could reach and sawed it off at the base, lowering gently "to the ground. Then wé cut-off the ~ top above the hollow which shel- tered the bees.

Next morning I went out to see how my guests did. They were six miles from where they had gone to bed the night before and were quite untroubled by it. They had already organized perfectly, The temperature of the . hive apparently had. risen, and. a ring of fanners was around the hole fanning 'air into the interior "with their wings where it 'was caught up by other fanners and driven through the hive. The ventilation system was humming. The bees had al- ready discovered the smuil braok a few yards away, and # bucket brigade was busily fetching water. The bulk of the .workers had _dis- covered my nejghbor's buckwheat patch. and were busily gathering _ I 'kept them 'for scveral years and got much fun from watching them, nor did they ever show the slightest resentment to- ward me for shifting their home. --. : by George Harold Edgell, - ~ church aisle?
