BEES. 



The bee industry is becoming one 

 of the profitable and interesting occupa- 

 tions for people on small farms, and as 

 "extra" work for the boys and girls on 

 the farm. There is a great opportunity 

 for development. As the industry itself 

 is so little known, many fine articles 

 which are written do not reach the peo- 

 ple who wish to read them. Such topics 

 as "Beginning with Bees," "Wintering," 

 "Feeding and Breeding," "Diseases of 

 Bees," as well as articles on Honey, 

 Combinations of Bees and Poultry, 

 Bee Outfits, etc., can be obtained from 

 specialists in this line. The Government 

 has a number of good documents. Va- 

 rious State Experiment Stations are good 

 sources. A very well recognized organi- 

 zation that takes pleasure in the distri- 

 bution of bee literature and information 

 is the A. T. Ropt Bee Company of Me- 

 dina, Ohio.
