To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At this time the entrances should be narrowed, to give the bees a better chance of protecting themselves against the superiority in strength and greater activity of the wasps. In the spring destroy all queen-wasps, as each of these starts an independent colony. Nests mav be destroved bv pouring in at the entrance a cupful of gas-tar, turpentine, or paratfin, and then stopping it with earth or a good-sized clod. Bottles partly filled with sweetened beer, placed near the hives when wasps are very... troublesome, will catch many of them. Another way : If the nest is in a suitable position, it may be got rid of by preparing a squib of moistened gunpowder fixed on a stick about 10 inches long. This done, and the entrance to the nest clearly ascertained, light the squib and immediately thrust it in, blocking up the space round the stick, and with a spade or old chisel the nest may be dug out, and the combs of brood and stupefied wasps destroyed before the latter have time to recover. Mice will enter hives if they find an opening large enough to admit them, and sometimes do great damage to the combs, besides eating honey.
