| 78 |  | Reminiscences of an Uncertificated Bee-keeper In the year 1870 I first had my attention called to bee-keeping, and I have not forgotten that time and the many muddles I got into. My employer had a few bar-frame hives, also a few skeps, given him by his brother with other bee-furniture. Now neither he nor I understood bees, but after reading a little and asking a few questions we commenced to do our best. We thought it would be desirable to get a straw skeppist to give us a lesson on hiving. We had not to wait long before out came a swarm, which settled on the end of a high tree. Of course, as in duty bound, I rang them with door-key and shovel. When the bees settled I went for my friend to hive them for us, but he being from home I had to return without him. I just arrived in time to see the swarm take wing across a red-clover field. We followed them all the time sounding the timbrel, but I found, charm I never so wisely, that they would not settle, and they were soon lost to my sight. After this I determined to try to hive the next swarm myself. I had not long to wait before out came another lot, which settled up in a yew-tree. I donned the bee-dress, a thing like a sack with sleeves in a piece of gauze that covered the eyes. I now, armed in my coat of mail, hailed a man in a field close by, of whom I was told that either his mother or grandmother did keep or had kept bees. So, of course, I expected him to know something about the process. Well, he pronounced me all right. So I mounted the ladder, skep in hand. I commenced to shake the tree and the bees all over myself and the skep; and didn't I shake too, expecting every minute to be stung! But by some means I undoubtedly got the queen, for in a very short time all were safe. This lot I did not ring, as I could not see the reason of it, but a friend of mine took me to task over this. He maintained the bees had a certain music of their own, and the ringing caused certain vibrations in the air and confused the bees and made them settle. He said he had a gong made for the purpose of ringing down his bees. Well, the time came to take the honey, so my employer and I held a council of war as to how we were to proceed. We had read about smoke, but how it was to be applied we knew not. However, we rolled up some brown paper like a huge cigar, lighted it, and attempted to blow in the smoke betweenthe hive and the super, after raising the super with a screw-driver; but I don't think we got a whiff into the hive. Then and there they commenced a fierce battle. One bee landed a sting on the bridge of my nose. I retired, and on looking up saw my employer in full retreat with the enemy furiously pursuing with fixed bayonets. He pulled off his coat and cut some curious capers; he was soon lost to my sight. I made my way round to the kitchen. I was told that salad-oil, vinegar and soda, also the blue-bag, were all good things. I tried the lot, but my poor face enlarged so that I looked as though I had neuralgia; and what with blue and oil I had a very comical appearance, but in the morning my appearance was that of a fat pig. Oh, if that cook had let things alone we might have been saved a deal of trouble, as it appears that, amongst the gifts of my employer's brother was a smoker, one of those you blow with your mouth, until your lips are very much swollen, and eyes the appearance of your having ophthalmia. This article the cook claimed as having some connexion with a sausage-machine. Five or six years after, when lighting my new smoker she told me she had a thing like that in the kitchen, but she could never make it do its work properly, so she had to put it aside. This I examined, and found the name of 'George Neighbour & Sons' on it. After this I read everything I could about bees, Langstroth amongst the rest. Thinking I knew something about bees more than I did previously, I volunteered to drive some for a friend. He thought very highly of my abilities. I, armed with my smoker and veil, went to work. After I had given a few whiffs to the bees I turned them up, carried them on to a gravel path (my friend the meantime standing behind a bush). After pinning on my top hive (for open driving) I commenced to drum and the bees to sting. Now I had on a very thin pair of trousers, and, stooping down, gave the bees a fine chance to sting my legs, and sting they did, but I didn't tell my friend, or he might have thought less of my abilities. After this I thought over the matter to see where I was wrong, and soon succeeded beyond my expectation. About this time a certain County Association held its show. This nearly sent some of my neighbours off their heads. What with 2s. 6d. a lb. for honey, and one hive yielding 90 to 100 lbs., as the man in the bee tent told them, set everyone on fire, and I, too, caught the fever. Every night after a hard day's work I went to some meeting, to the loss and neglect of my own bees. One of my new pupils, seeing how much my time was occupied, thought he would try and manipulate himself. He had seen me use my pipe to smoke his bees, and he thought he could do the same. He had been a non-smoker, and his system not being charged with the narcotic, told on his brain. He had to leave the hive as it was, but before he could get far he reeled, and the ground met him before he thought of it. He again tried to walk, and managed to get into the greenhouse and lay on the stage. A friend just dropped in, and with a great deal of telling believed his story at last. (This was rather a curious predicament, for being a total abstainer his friend seemed to doubt his word.) I now gave lessons to a clergyman. He, of course, took to it quickly, and thought he knew all about it, so he found amongst his flock an old straw-skeppist, a regular brimstoner, whom he persuaded to let him drive his bees. The night being fixed, we went. He was boiling over with enthusiasm. The old man said he knew he could not do it. It was no use me trying to tell his reverence anything, so to work he went, and before he was ready first his veil was badly fitted, then honey all sealed over bees had not time to gorge before he turned up the hive, and the bees went at him left and right. Now see his reverence cut some capers, first under this bush, now under that; at last he made across the old man's potatoes, over the carrot-bed, through the pea-row, over the gooseberry-bushes, round the house, the old man chuckling, 'They've got ye, they've got ye! I told you he could not do it.' And I still remain ____ UNCERTIFICATED. Article from The British Bee Journal: March 8th 1888 Page 132-133 | |
