the tribune stouflfville ont thursday august 29 1946 the city of the bees a colony of bees is a little city in is no superior in this bee city there itself- it has regular streets and alley for the passage of its inmates and those streets are kept clean in some respects it is like the human kind but m another way it is no unemployment problem nor is there any unemployment or ole age pension none is needed the population of this bee city is care- is organized on a diiferent scheme full regulated to the seasons and that nas for its goal the survival of l atnount 1 work to done the fittest irrespective of ethical or moral rights ihe house the bee- live in the houe the bee city the bees live in is air cooled or more exactly air conditioned in hot weather the temperature inside is always the same no matter how oppres sively hot it is outside seemingly since creation the bees have known and used the science of ventilation and air conditioning the wise man said go to the ant thou sluggard if he had said go to the bees he would have been wiser in the bee city there is no mayor or city manager no city council no political boss and while there is a queen she does not direct its policies nor its destinies neverthe less in all the realm of nature there is not a more etlicient organization its police force is the best in the world not for regulating the in mates of the city but to keep out the burglars the thugs and racke teers let one of these approach the gates of the city be it the naughty boy or one of its own kind he will be so severely treated that they will retreat in utter rout the inmates are all for one and one for all there is perfect cooper ation and unity of action there are no jealousies no strifes for political preferment no unions and no strikes they cooperate and do not fight among themselves they are intensely patriotic and if need be will fight their enemies their prowess is not questioned by any living thing that creeps walks or flies even man has a most whole some respect for them man must deal with them if at all on their terms their scheme for the division of labor is the best in the world every worker knows her precise job and does it without being told or shown by a superior for there this means of course a perfect scheme of birth control when depression or a bad season comes the bee city stops raising more babies when there is danger of the city starving the control bees dump the halfgrown babies bees in the larval form out at the city gate to die in addition to all this the oiu workers whose wings are worn out by toil are forced to leave the city if they do not go out voluntarily they are kicked out- what is the use they say of raising a lot of babies or cripples and keeping a lot of old folks that cant work any more to feed the unborn and those that cannot work might mean that all would starve everyone works but father the drone and even he is kicked out ruthlessly when his services are are no longer required if the queen does not rule or boss what does she do she lays all the eggs one or two thousand a day and if she falls down on the joo she too is kicked out and another lakes her place the slogan is efficiency if you dont work or cant keep up your end of the job in that bee city you shall not eat and so the halt lame and inefficient must die that others might live and so the slaughter of the inno cent goes on this in short is the political economy of the bee city in some respects it may be emulated by man in other it is too cruel and heartless man wouldnt stand for it but he will receive a dole even though in many cases able to work there are from 15000 in the spring to 75000 inmates during the height of the season in the bee city known as a colony the queen loan to farmers it oii may

same city at me same time une usually kills the other iueen mother and queen daughter may however live peaceably to gether for weeks but molher-m- jaw and daughterinlaw never u neii two queens start fighting they not only try to sting each otticr but they will pun each others hair in real woman fashion- the queen stings only a rival queen a queen bee can lay her own weight of eggs in one day she will lay in the first two months in the spring from 300 to 1000 eggs in a day and in the next month or just before the main honey flow she may lay 2000 eggs in a day she can be the mother of 100000 work ers undeveloped females in one beehive if the old bees did not die oif at the age of a month or six weeks in the height of the honey flow she might have a twice that number the same egg that will produce a queen in hi days will produce a worker bee in 21 days the larvae of the worker bee is fed a coarser food by the nurse bees in the hive and for that reason is not developed into a perfect female like the queen and not so quickly in this way the bees can of their ov n will produce either a queen bee or a worker bee from one and the same egg the workers the life of a workerbee in can ada and the northern states where the winters are cold may be six or eight months extending over the less active seasons of the year fall winter and early spring but a worker bee hatched just at the honeygathering season in summer will wear out its wings and life in a few weeks in the intense work of filling the hive with honey it often falls exhausted outside the hive and there dies if it does not leave the hive the younger bees push it out of the hive as of no further use if the old bees attempt to go back the young ones without gratitude or conscience pick them up carry them on the wing perhaps half a mile and then drop them they cant walk back they cant fly back and so they die the bees that gather the surplus crop of honey do not eat it the bees that eat it do not gather it as the gener ations change so rapidly but the colony lives on in a measure the same rule applies to the human family the drone a drone which is a male bee has no father but strange to say he always has a grandfather a maternal grandfather the queen bee lays an unfertilized egg to pro duce a drone a clear case of parth- enogenis or virgin birth the drone is not permitted by the worker bees ever to live more than one season he dies mating with la queen or is driven out of the city or killed by the worker bees at the close of the honeygathering season to save boarding him he is a happy loafer never working always fed by the others a regular man about town until fall comes and then suddenly nobody care about father the drones are always killed off or helicopter- shows how fliers saved s during a demonstration in honor of the us army air force day this helicopter piloted by lieut august fleisch at fort totten ny rescues a downed flier from a raft the helicopter later picked up the other airman stranded at sea starved by the bees themselves after the main honey flow unless the hive is queenless or has an tin- mated queen north um b erla x i cou nty get pheasants four hundred pheasants were

brilliance of the sun and another glory of the moon surprises bear feeding behind haliburton barn haliburton its hard to say which got the biggest surprise the other morning up in this village when mr henry brohm started out to do his chores and surprised a bear feeding behind his barn the barn is located only a short two blocks from the post office and it is believed that this is the closest to the village a bear has ever been seen mr brohm is not of the faint hearted type and picking up a piece of timber lying nearby he routed the bear off the premises he the bear has not been seen since junior fashions seldom seen the sun was scorching as the hay was loaded in the field in the barn the heat was stifling under the steel roof as the hay was mowed away sweat soaked the mens clotnes and ran off their faces a dip at noon fresh clothes an afternoon lunch frequent pinches of salt and quarts of fresh spring water made the heat endurable the horses were unhitched from the last load at seven thirty as he sweated and tugged at great bunches of hay the fork had dropped in the mow the farmer wondered why farmers were called upon to make so great aneirort to produce food when other men who should be helping them were idling at farmers expense or getting twice as much for less important work why should he keep on even for that day why not walk out of the mow then and put an end to both the work and the tooheavy phy sical strain had he been a fool to carry on saving hay and harvest ing crops feeding stock and haul ing manure during the war when he easily could have earned more money for little work the answers to his question must wait the hay was cut it was being saved in splendid condition and would make excellent feed for his beef cattle he was committed to this harvest and to next winters feeding another pinch of salt a quart of spring water and he car ried on if the government would only show some backbone and restore law and order among the laborers flowing match
