 bscome rooted unknown to the owner. This apiary might serve as a source of infection to 

 a healthy, well-kept yard in the locality. (By Wesley Foster. ) 



Fig. 2. — These colonies do not want for care; diseases are not likely to get ahead of this bee- 

 keeper. Light shade is desirable in the apiary in midsummer. Rubbish, long grass and 

 weeds about the hives are unnecessary. (By Wesley Foster, and "Country Life in America.")
