Bee Owner Gets '
‘Stung’; Drowsy
Bug Saves Hive
MISSION, Feb. 21.—Somebody .
“stung” D. C. Decker with his own
bees.
They stung him to the tune of
two hives and would have made the
sting a triple proopsition if some
somnolent bee had not have awak- j
ened while his domicile was being
moved and resented such untimely
transportation.
There was one hive that was left!
—turned over and bees swarming.1
Two hives were gone—bees, hon
ey and all.
Decker is wondering now how
well trained the bees arc and
whether they were more attached
to their hives or to the splendid
feeding ground's he afforded them,
amongst the orange blossoms, etc.
At any rate, according to Mr.
Decker, he may not have “home
grown honey” for his patrons but it
is going to be pretty hard for any
body to get away with his truck
gardens and orchards.
