recreation and supply our own table with 

 honey. When I was 17 years old I lived sev- 

 eral months with an uncle and aunt who 

 made a specialty of beiis, and during that 

 time I picked up some rudimentary knowl- 

 edge of the business. 



Well, I gave that first colony such good at- 

 tention that they not only supplied our table 

 and my wife's mother's table, but we had a 

 good many pound sections to give to friends 

 or relatives. At first I refused to take money 

 as I was not in the business for gain. I did 

 not myself belong to any church, but always 

 tried to help all denominations when I could, 

 so it happened that every minister in town, 

 or that came to town to hold service, was sure 

 of at least one pound of my honey every year. 



In a few years the number of colonies in- 

 creased to 3 or 4, and I told my wife and boy 

 they might sell what they could spare after 

 our near relatives and all the preachers had 

 been well treated. Since that time there has 

 never been a season we could not have sold 

 at from 15 to '20 cents per section, several 

 times as much honey as we had to spare. 



Last summer 1 increased to 12 colonies and 

 Italianized all of them, purchasing queens 

 from 3 different dealers, thus seeking to get 

 a mixed strain. Several people have already 

 spoken to me for honey, although January 

 has not yet passed. 



As to the final oui' ome I am not very san- 

 guine. We have in this locality so many 

 years that bees do almost nothing. There has 

 been in the last decade such a slaughter of 

 basswood trees, and the white clover is so 

 very uncertain, thai, whoever keeps bees in
