Description of Foregoing Engravings.
No. 1.-This picture shows A. E. Mannu's side-hill
the crop here represented when gathered weighed apiracy. This spot was selected because the ground is descending, thus affording good drainage, and Mr.
many is situated in the heart of the town of sk00.
Manum thinks the bues can locate their lives better
in inhabitants.
The building in the background is the
in such a place, e-pectially the young sues when
they go out to mate and as every hire can be seen
from the honey-house, the attendant can be watching for swarms while working inside. It must not be supposed that this hill is very steep, as the
picture would lead one to think, as the descent is
very slight neither are the hires arranged on the
amphitometer plan, but are set in straight rows.
Mr. Manum has three aparies on level groud d, and
he finds the water from melting snow often makes
it too damp for the bees: hence his preference for a
slope.
No. 2 -This view is thoroughly characteristic of
Nevada, showing the bonanza system on which bees
are kept in the Sage-brush state. The honey usually
obtained is not only conspicuous by its quantity,
but its quality as well. Owing to the fact that the
honey is mostly collected from alfalfa clover, and
the extreme dryness of the climate, the honey or
Nevada is never surpassed in color, flavor, or density combined. It is not unusual to see piled up
underneath the cottonwood-trees ten or twenty tons
of honey awaiting an opportunity to ship it to the eastern markets, where it is highly appreciated.
Owing to the extreme dryness of the climate it is
wholly impracticable to use wooden packages, and
in takes its place altogether, as is shown by the
illustration. Those who look on Nevada as a desert
will probably be astosthished to know it is an excellent honey-producing State.
No. 3.-This beautiful picture was shown the author of this book (E. H. Root) while he was in Los Angeles. The location is six miles north of Los Angeles, and is an ideal place for wintering. The
foot of the mountain, in the background, is such as
may be seen there on all unretained land. Between the mountain and hires may be seen a growing
the growth of affairs. The trees at the left are probably orange. Each hire is the center of six others
standing around it, and they are far enough apart so
one can walk around each hire. The extracting-room is a cloth tent. An iron pipe leads from the
extracting-room to the storage-tank. The highest
yield Mr. McCarroll has had per colony is 200 lbs. of
extracted honey.
No. 4.-This shows how straw skeps are made in
England. These are still made in England to a limited extent, and some of the advanced bek-seeppers
use them for taking down swarms, in temporarily
housing swarms, and for various other uses in the
aplay. Being light and cool these skeps are hander than a box.
No. 5.-The peculiar feature of this apilar is that
the honey is almost wholly obtained from sweet
clover which was distributed in waste places by the
owner s-sremal years previous to the taking of this
view. It will be noted the supers are in place and
the crop here represented when gathered weighed
12,00 lbs, nearly all of it from sweet clover. The
apilar is situated in the heart of the town of sk00
inhabitants.
The building in the background is the
in such a place, e-pectially the young sues when
honey house. It is evident the owner of this apilar
she is a Neon and successful bekeeper, and as a matter
of fact the honey sold from it enabled its owner
to start a drugstore He admits not being able
to keep away from the bees, and the ship-shape
appearance of every thing would indicate that to
be the case.
No. 6.-This is a thoroughly characteristic view of
a Mexican apiary. Just such apirates exist all over
Mexico. The young man, a true son of the soil, is
about to hive a swarm in a long basket-work hive
which he holds in his hand. He also has a cloth to
put over the hive to shade and protect it until
meaning time when it will be placed among the others.
The honey is taken by putting the hives over the
fumes of burning sulphur and kill my the bees.
No. 7.-During a trip to Colorado in 1900 Mr. Root
made a visit to Mr. Philip Large, of Longmont, and
was there attracted by the sight of a large solar-
cruver, elevated as shown in the cut so as to allow
of extra heat being applied underneath. At the
back end there is a cupboard door communicating
with an air-tight compartment. In this is a large
lamp placed under the slanting part of the extractor,
Mr. Large was greatly pleased with the working of
the extraction. For information regarding the
practical working of solar extractors, see the
spectal, page 96s.
Nos. 8 and 9.-Views in the famous apiary of 750
colines, all in one apiary, owned and managed by
E. W. Alexander, of New York. It is hardly possible
to show in one picture 150 hires but the view marks
ed 10 gives us an idea of the extent of this apiary.
As. 10.-A view of the honey-house and bek-similar
of Mr. E. W. Alexander, at Delanson, New York,
who described it in _Guanings In Bee Culture_ for
January 15, 1997, as follows: "First, I will describe
the building, which is 24 feet wide and 36 long. The
longest way is north and south. The cell or occupies
