        Hello
        Ken Lawrence here.  I deleted the Original Post.  The post was about
aggressive bees.  Looking in one of my American Bee Journals dated NOV. 21
1895.
 
 
        "When bees in the same apiary get to robbing each other, fill the smoker
with tobacco and give the colonies that are doing the robbing a through
smoking.  Smoke then until they are thoroughly drunk.  The large stems of
the tobacco-plant cut fine with a fodder cutter, or ax are the best fuel
for this business, or for -- vicious bees--, and cost nothing.  For
ordinary work, corn-cobs cut fine are the best fuel know".
 
        Beeing that I am still laid up I have time to read some old copies of my
bee magazines.  There were 8 pages in the Nov.21, 1895 issue  and cost was
one dollar per Annum. if anybody is interested.
