Many bee-keepers say this is a good plan to cure vicious bees. Take a scarecrow and make it as much like a man as possible, and post it near the bees to be tamed. Smear something or other over the scare crow to make it smell disagreeable, and the bees will go for it. Many bees will lose their stings, not being able to withdraw them. Those who lose them—which will, of course, be the worst tempered—will die. This is well worth trying.
