DOMESTICATING THE BEE.
The average leng-th of life of the
honey bee during the summer months
when she is working the hardest is
only four to six weeks. However,
bees which are hatched in late sum
mer after the heavy work of the
honey season is passed by should, un
der favorable conditions, survive the
restful winter months and live long
enough into spring to . rear a new
generation before they become feeble
and die.
