HOW TO KEEP BEES FOR PROFIT 



It must not be supposed from the foregoing 

 that robbing is a terrible bugbear and a fatal 

 thing to bee-keeping, for I can safely say that 

 by the exercise of a little caution and the adop- 

 tion of the preventive measures referred to I 

 have not for ten years had a serious case of 

 robbing in any of my yards, and a pound of 

 prevention is worth a load of cure. Be care- 

 ful when working out of the honey flow, and, 

 when feeding the bees, not to let any of the 

 honey or feed lie about, and in all probability 

 you will never have a case of robbing that will 

 amount to anything.
