THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER 



June 



A GROCER ONCE SAID 



when a bee-keeper tool: him some fancy comb honey, "I suppose your 

 honey is no sweeter than this," as he pointed to some cheap honey on his 

 shelves. The bee-keeper admitted that it was probably no sweeter, but 

 it would sell much quicker and at a much better price; and it was not 

 long before the grocer wanted this man's honey all of the time. Why not 

 provide your bees with the best fixtures to be had so as to produce fancy 

 honey instead of honey that will have to be sold at a reduced price?
