BEES MAKE HONEY
OVER LODGE ROOM
FRATERNAL BUILDING AT KEN
DRICK IS HOME OF SWARM
OF WILD HONEY MAKERS
Thos. Sturdevant and N. Brocke
secured 84 pounds of sugar substitute in
the loft of the Fraternal Temple building
last week. For the past three years
there has been a swarm of wild bees in
the loft of the building and during all
this time these busy little workers have
been putting away their surplus products
so that two enterprising Kendrick citizens could secure it at the logical moment to help win the war. To get the honey, however, it was necessary to smoke out the bees with sulphur and this caused their untimely death.
It is said that wild bees from a strong
swarm will rob the smaller hives of tame
bees and thus the tame bees will die
during the winter of starvation, so that
the death of this swarm could not be
considered a calamity from a conservation standpoint. It was also thought
best to extinguish this little colony in
order to guard against a contingency
that might arise during the solemn and
mysterious rites of conferring degrees
in the various local lodges.
