The American Bee Journal, Vol. 5 (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Bee Journal, Vol. 5 We might greatly enlarge this catalogue Of transgressions against science, if disposed to pursue the registration. But we should proba bly be thereby tempted to engage in discussions, Which might not indeed be of disservice to the cause, though they should lead us too far away from our present purpose. From these and similar incongruous notions and doctrines, we shall therefore only select that which from its nature seems to bear a close relationship to what has been called water dearth. We take occasion accordingly to speak= somewhat in detail, of the ej'ect of water on the combs and the lefe of the bees.
