Chapter VI: Part 6

Some people think it a good plan to drum the bees; but I should fear
to rely on it. And if you did not object kindly to advise me, as you
have had so much experience, what plan you consider best to deprive
them without destroying them, I should esteem it a very great favour;
and hoping you will not consider me very impertinent in seeking your
advice,

I remain yours truly,

J. H.

You must have depriving hives. You must take from the bees their surplus honey, only leaving them twenty or twenty-five pounds of honey for the winter. To take the honey out of a common skep, you must either burn the bees or leave them to perish of hunger--alternatives too barbarous to be thought of.

* * * * *

_Gravesend._

Sir,--Having read with interest your letters in _The Times_ about
bees, I thought you might like to see the following extract, which I
met with the other day. I always think that the cottagers waste much
honey, and my husband and I have frequently thought that it might be
made quite a productive source of income to them; but I fear that in
these parts the plan of supers, nadirs, &c., would be above their
comprehension. If you think that clay hives are suitable to this
climate, you might give a hint in _The Times_.

Obediently yours,

F. Q.

"The production of honey is one of the chief sources of wealth to this
place, and the bee-hives deserve a passing notice. Each household
possesses some sixteen or twenty hives, arranged with marvellous
economy of space. The hive consists of a tube, of the diameter of a
large gas-pipe, about four feet long, made of sun-dried clay, and
laid longitudinally on the ground, four or five abreast. On these
are piled, according to the wealth of the owner, a cone of twelve or
fifteen more, forming a pyramid, and the whole plastered over with
mud. The apertures at each end of the tubes are likewise closed with
mud, leaving a small opening for the bees, exactly in the centre. A
bush is stuck into the ground at each end, to shade the hives and to
assist the bees in alighting. The produce of these spacious hives
must be enormous; and the bees are never killed, the hives being
simply robbed twice a year by the removal of the plaster at each end,
when the honey is drawn out by an iron hook. All portions of comb
containing young bees are carefully replaced; and on these hills, with
their short winter and abundance of aromatic herbs, nothing more is
required. Of course we invested in Palestine honey, which has all the
aromatic flavour of that of Hymettus or Hybla."--_Extracted from "A
Winter Ride in Palestine, by the Rev. H. B. Tristram," contained in
"Vacation Tourists; or, Notes on Travel in 1862-1863_."

"_Cannot fail to be interesting to all fathers and mothers,
and it appeals to the sympathies of everyone who has been a
boy, and has been educated at a public school. Good store of

exquisite letters written to the famous poet, soldier, and
gentleman, Sir Philip Sydney, by his father and mother, when the

enabling them to compare the several systems prevailing at
different places, and to determine beforehand which offers
the greatest advantages. The subject, however, is interesting
to all intelligent Englishmen, and the book has, therefore,
a general attraction beyond the circle which it specially

"_This is a very remarkable book, and unless we very much
misunderstand both him and his book, the author is one of those
men of whom great nations do well to be proud._"--Spectator.

"_If Capt. Hall should survive the perils of the journey on which
he is now engaged, we are convinced he will bring home some
news, be it good or bad, about the Franklin expedition. He can
hardly be expected back before the autumn of 1866. But if he
has gone he has left us his vastly entertaining volumes, which
contain much valuable information, as we have said, concerning
the Esquimaux tribes. These volumes are the best that we have
ever met with, concerning the people and things to be found
among the thick ribb'd ice.'_"--Standard.

"_The pen of Wilkie Collins would fail to describe in more
life-like terms of horror the episode of the cannibal crew
escaped from a whaler who boarded the 'George Henry' on the
outward passage of that ship. We are tempted to relate how
an Innuit throws a summersault in the water in his kyack,
boat and all, and to introduce our readers to our Author's
dogs, including the famous Barbekerk; but we must pause, and
refer to this most interesting work itself, which will repay
perusal._"--Press.

a profitable one. The keeping of bees needs no great skill and
but a small outlay. The result, however, besides the amusement
which it accords is a store of honey that in the present state
of the market may make a considerable addition to the income
of a poor cotter, and may even be worthy the ambition of an
underpaid curate or a lieutenant on half-pay._"--Times, Jan. 11,

"_One of the most real, interesting, and instructive pieces of
religious biography of the present day._"--Nonconformist.

"_We have waited for the publication of the second and last volume
of this interesting, we may well say entertaining, biography,
before introducing It to our readers. It is now complete, and
furnishes one of the most various and delightful portraits of
a fine, sturdy, old representative of ancient theology and
earnest piety, relieved by very sweet and engaging pictures
of New England society in its religious circles, and the
ways and usages of the men and women who lived, and loved,
and married, and had families nearly a century since.... And
now we must lay down these very delightful volumes. We trust
we have sufficiently characterized them while there are, of
course, reminiscences, pictures of places and of persons we
have been unable even to mention. It was an extraordinary
family altogether; aglow of bright, affectionate interest
suffuses all in charming sunshine. It was a life of singular
purpose, usefulness, and determination and ice think ministers
especially, and of ministers young students especially, might
read it, and read it more than once, to advantage.... Without
attempting any more words, we hope we have sufficiently
indicated our very high appreciation of, and gratitude for, this
charming and many-sided biography of a most robust and healthy
life._"--The Eclectic.

"_All that the old man writes is clever and sagacious._"--Athenæum

"_If the reader can imagine the Vicar of Wakefield in America,
this memoir will give a very good idea of what he would be
among Yankee surroundings. There is the same purity, sincerity,
and goodness of heart, the same simplicity of manners and
directness of purpose in Dr. Primrose and Dr. Beecher, though
the go-ahead society in which the latter divine lived failed not
to impress its character upon him. This is as instructive and
charming a book for family reading as can be taken up for that
purpose._"--Daily News.

"_A hundred pleasant things we must pass by; but readers of these
charming volumes will not do so._"--Wesleyan Times.

TRANSCRIBER NOTES

Illustrations were relocated to avoid splitting paragraphs. The original printed volume repeated the number "V" at the top of the sixth chapter and subsequent chapters incremented from there. That has been corrected in this version. "Erratum" on Contents page was applied.
