Bees have many enemies, but I shall notice but two, the toad and the moth-miller. The only objection that I know of to the hive resting on the,ground is, that it makes it convenient for Mr. or Mrs. Toad to readily reach the bees, where they will quietly sit and make a square meal of bees. Although they are good in the garden and on the farm, they are bad around the bee-hives. Be sure and keep them away, even if you are obliged to kill them. The moth-miller is sometimes very troublesome, but seldom does any harm if all colonies are kept strong. Don't invest in moth-proof hives, or moth traps, but keep all the colonies strong and the moth-miller will not trouble. |
