Howl to Death

The mystery picture with the tree .



So why did a man climbed up the tree? But black and white ever written - "Russian drevolazanie and trap for the bears ".



" Russian from [the village] Borodskoe River Ufa laying swarms (bees) in the depression formed in the most solid, powerful and sprawling trees in the forest at a height of about twenty-five or thirty feet from the ground, and even higher if it allows the barrel ".

Looking at the picture, it seems that disastrous bear trap works like this: Potapych climbs onto a convenient platform, ropes tear on its severity, and suitable bear - a source of hides and bear meat, falls on the stakes, and honey is successfully bee-hunter .

Surprisingly, almost all in the story of a wild bee's true. Indeed, Bashkortostan - a little Is not the only place where already so far survived bee-keeping and malicious wild (black) bees. Famous vmirezhivotny Basil Sands describes the manufacturing board is almost the same words as the English writer William Hone your calendar:

... They hollow out the holes lengthways, with small narrow hatchets, and with chisels and gouges complete their work. The longitudinal aperture of the hive is stopped by a cover of two or more pieces exactly fitted to it, and pierced with small holes, to give ingress and egress to the bees. "

Vasily Peskov: "Pine should be thick enough (about a meter in diameter), Dolby ... board at a height of six to twelve meters. First, the bee-hunter to cut the tree, a narrow slit and then have special tools choose a hollow height about one meter, quite roomy, but not threatening to fracture the tree. Internal edge of carefully trimmed ... bee-entrance to the bee cuts through the side, while the gap is closed wooden shutter ... After this board leave to dry. And only two years later, it can be ready for occupation by bees ".

Next Hawn describes the bizarre fit to fight with a bear - stuck into the trunks of the old blade knives, aerial platforms, crossbows, shooting an animal when it touches the string, tied to the foot of the tree, even knives, is now below the platform, etc. Indianodzhonsovskie chips with crossbows, spikes and bullets, dum-dum cause I have some doubt. Expensive it would be every tree with a hollow seat edges, let the old, and to sow dragon's teeth of steel. However, according to the authors, Bear also did not make a mistake: climbing or slipping between the traps or bends their legs down so as not to naparyvatsya on the way back (downhill going backwards). The most savage way to cripple the bear, of course, with the platform, where he becomes the victim of an Aztec bortnichesko-savvy.

Otkovyryav rope, especially restraint convenient platform in an awkward position, the bear goes into the flight. Frightened and jumped down, he falls on the knife was left on the platform receives crossbow arrow into his whole bear chest. E. .. "Do you love nectar - as people say - love and chill" (one of the most mysterious priskazok; hope it decently). As a bonus, offers a calendar poem about winter and bears:

THE SEASON

On winter comes-the cruel north
Pours his furious whirlwind forth
Before him-and we breathe the breath
Of famish'd bears, that howl to death:
Onward he comes from rocks that blanch
O'er solid streams that never flow,
His tears all ice, his locks all snow,
Just crept from some huge avalanche.

Incog.

And from me yet Moidodir:
