MOW TO MAKE OF BEE-KEEP- ING A MORE SAFE, PLEAS- ANT AND PROFITABLE PURSUIT. BY ADA L. PICKARD. "If to do were as easy as to know, what were good to do, chapels had been churches, and poor mens cot- tages princes palaces. It is a good divine that follows his own instructions." Many readers remark that arti- cles written from time Jo time are all right in the- ory, but when put into practice do not work as repre- sented on paper. These statements may be true; but perhaps the reason why they did not work was because the operator failed to carry out the plan and method proposed. No one has any right to ad- vance simply theories, which he knows will not work; instead, he should advance plans and methods which have been tried and proven. Our theme, to which we must resort, is "How to make bee-keep- ing a more safe, pleasant and profitable pursuit." We must first make the state- ment that bee-keeping can not always be relied upon as a safe occupation without any other source of income..We are en- tirely dependent upon circumstances, and at the mercies of conditions. It seems sometimes that no matter how well the apiary is managed there are conditions which will not permit us to obtain a hon- ey crop. "It is not all gold that glitters" in any occupation. Often the winters are open, one day freezing and the next da} thawing, with no snow upon the grouud, and white clover is "winterkilled;" and in regions where clover is exclusively depended up- on for the honey crop we hear failure, failure as the result. In the basswood belts there are also many draw-backs, and discouragements; such as late spring frosts, drouths, and the difficulties which have been experienced with flies and worms working upon the basswood bloom; thus making the long looked for honey crop a failure. Then, in other lo- calities, the apiarist suffers many times from drouths which ruin his honey. © Library Book Collection
