circa. 1879 ~ Bees with Lofty Notions
How to Bring Them Down

' Oh ! dear me ! after all my care and watching you have got quite above me.' So thought Miss T___ as she stood with tongs and shovel in hand, viewing, with no little anxiety, a beautiful swarm, which had issued from a straw hive, and was now suspended to an overhanging branch of a lofty tree in the garden. A wishful look at the darling pets, evidently enjoying their outing, then a deep sigh, next a thought as to how best to proceed to secure them.

Via. Historical Honeybee Articles - Beekeeping History

A happy thought flashes across her mind. ' I will send for Mrs. W___,' exclaims Miss T___. ' She will know.' In a few moments down comes Mrs. W___, who, taking a rapid survey of the position, at once conceives a plan of capturing the errant bees.

A twenty-foot ladder is quickly reared against the side of the tree; up she ascends, rake in hand, having first fixed Joe, the gardener, with a straw skep at the end of a pitchfork in his hand. One shake, and in drop the bees, which are lowered, quickly turned over, and placed upon their new stand, to the great delight of Miss T___, who has now a higher opinion than ever of the ability of Mrs. W___.

The accompanying sketch will more plainly show the novel performance, if you think it deserving of a place in your next issue. — R. R. Godfrey.
