76 BEES FOR PLEASURE AND PROFIT. 



when all the ingredients have been thoroughly well worked 

 together, the whole may be moistened with a little water ; it 

 is then boiled up for a minute, and when cool is ready for use. 

 This candy is known as Viallon candy. 



When snow is lying on the ground and the sun is shining 

 brightly it is often necessary to shade the entrances of the 

 hives with a branch of evergreen or some other suitable material, 

 lest the bright reflection of the sunlight from the snow tempt 

 the bees out, only to perish from the cold. 



The winter is the time for the apiarist to make the hives 

 and appliances he will need in the following season. 



The Bee-keeper's Library. 



The winter is also the time for him to read and study the 

 subject, and to form his plans for the future. The following 

 are the best books for the beginner to read : — 



" Bee-keeper's Guide Book," by T. W, Cowan. 2.9. M. Published 



by 8. G. MadgM'ick, Ivy Lane, London, E.G. 

 "A Modern Bee Farm,'' by S. f*fimmins. Is. Qd. Published by 

 S. Sinimins, Heathfield, Sussex, and obtainable from the 

 British Bee Journal Office. 



Every bee-keeper should read either the British Bee 

 Journal (a weekly periodical, devoted to the interests of 

 apiculture, and published at the small price of twopence 

 only), or else the Bee-keeper's Recoi'd (published monthly, 

 price 2d., or 2s. Qd. per year post free). The oflices of both these 

 papers are at 23 Bedford Street, Strand, London, W.C. Both 

 these journals were established many years ago, and not only 

 the matter but also the advertisements are helpful to bee- 

 keepers. Recently (1919) two other bee papers, known as 

 the Bee Craft and the Bee World, were also established. 



In Ireland a paper is published, known as the Irish Bee 

 Journal, which may be obtained for ?:s. 6d per year post free from 

 "Bee Publications," Lough Rynn, R.S.O., Co. Leitrim, Ireland. 



Not only every fruit grower and orchardist, but also 

 every one who may intend to grow fruit in the future should 

 read "The Fertilisation of Fruit Blossom by Bees," a pamphlet 

 by T. W. Cowan, obtainable from the British Bee Journal 

 Office, price Ad. post free. It is not too much to say that 

 many fruit growers will at least double their income by 

 reading this invaluable little work, more especially if they 

 read it before they plant their orchards.
