How About Next Year? 



The season of 1916, just closed, has been a most unusual one. Beekeepers who did 

 not fortify themselves early in the season by securing their hives, sections and other 

 goods and having their equipment ready for the bees, found when the honey season was 

 upon them that they were up against the following conditions: 



Everybody wanted bee goods— dealers had depicted stocks on account of the unusual demand 

 — manufacturers were several weeks behind o n orders — their factories were working overtime, 

 some beekeepers were delayed, some disap pointed, some got their goods when it was too late. 



Now, Mr. Beekeeper, What are You 

 Going to Do About Next Season 7
