BEES ALOFT.--About two years ago, a swarm of bees was discovered in the

steeple of the Congregational Church in Gilsum, N. H., where they have

since remained. As a result, fifty-six pounds of honey were recently

obtained from the sacred edifice.--_Boston Journal._

Light colonies, deficient in honey, should be fed in the latter part of

September or early in October. If feeding is begun early, in seasons

where late forage is abundant, there will be a great waste of

honey.--_Langstroth._
