Luck Comes With A Strange Swarm

: BIRDS AND BEASTS.

It is considered very lucky indeed to find that a strange swarm of bees

has arrived in the garden, or tree, belonging to a cottager. The advent

of the bees is joyfully welcomed, and the conversation of the neighbours

on such an occasion intimates that they think that good fortune has come

with them to the person whom they have condescended to honour with their

presence.



Occasionally, if bees settle down on property of doubtful ownership, a

good deal of wrangling and bad feeling arises between the rival claimants

for their possession.
