Gleanings in bee culture . act, I could imagine thatdozens of yards could be located clear upalong this river and its tributaries withoutany danger of overstocking, simply for thereason that the country is so new, and thatthe great mass of bee-keepers have neverknown of this wonderful territory wheresuch beautiful white honey that does notcandy is produced by the shipload. But the question is asked, Why arethere no more bee-keepers and bees alongthis river if all you say is true?P Largely, I understand, because it is diffi-cult to find a good spot to put an apiary onground above highwater, and then ma-laria and mosqui-toes are prevalent inmany places alongthe river. In ournext issue I willgive you some snapshots showing wholeapiaries on the riv-er, located up onstilts. But let us go backto Mr. Marchantshome yard. We no-tice that his hivesare put up on highbenches. This is noton account of highwater, but for con-venience in workingand to avoid harbor-ing-places for ants.We observe, also, Gleanings in Bee Culture.

Infront of every hive is a board running fromthe ground clear up to the entrance. No-tice Fig. 3, which shows the details of thehive-stand as they are made at the OwlCreek yard. This cleaning of all the grassis largely for the purpose of ^ning awayants that are so destructive in .ost locali-ties in Florida. Mr. Marchant thinks therewill be no trouble from this pest providedthe ground where the apiary is located iskept free from all boards, rubbish, vegeta-tion, and shrubbery, including trees wherethe ants are apt to form their nests. Lateron I will show you something how theseants make nests in trees, and what finechicken feed they make. marchants unique scheme for weigh-ing HIS HONEY. Let us now step under the shed in front ofMr. Marchants honey-house, shown in Fig.2. Here we see a mam
