THE CELEBRATED HONEY-BEE TRICK.
Get possession of the queen bee, and confine her by a hair or fine silken thread by a running noose fast around her corslet.
Explanation.—Be Wise in Time.
The bees, attentive to her movements, will surround her, and go to and fro, as if in obedience to the will of the captor of the mother bee.
A swarm can be made to pass from one hive to another at pleasure.
