No. 4.] BEE KEEPING. 383 



College Courses in Bee Keeping. 



For those who wish to learn bee keeping or the most advanced 

 principles and methods, a course in apiculture is given annually at 

 the Massachusetts Agricultural College, Amherst, Mass., beginning the 

 fourth Wednesday in May, and lasting two weeks. You have the 

 benefit of lectures and demonstrations by four of the regular staff of 

 professors and one special apicultural expert. For particulars write 

 to the registrar of the college. 



In conclusion, we would emphasize that apiculture, an ennobling, 

 uplifting, healthful, inspiring, and, to say the least, fascinating and 

 profitable pursuit, must become something more than a haphazard 

 pursuit. "Luck" plays no part; reason, intelligence, experience and 

 skill have far more to do with success. It is our earnest effort and hope 

 to eliminate the more or less general slack and careless methods for 

 that easier, modern, rational manipulation. 



Keep your bees; do not let them keep themselves.
