[The bee-keepers of Holland think noth- 

 ing of mo^•ing an apiary to different pastur- 

 age several times a season; and in many 

 localities in this country migratory bee- 



keeping is fast becoming an expedient, if not 

 a real necessity. If a permanent equipment 

 is provided, instead of hastily gotten-togeth- 

 er make-shifts, moving bees should not 

 prove the vexatious and burdensome task 

 that it so often does when a temporary and 

 flimsy moving outfit is used. Most of the 

 accidents result from breakage of parts not 

 designed for emergencies. The work is haz- 

 ardous enough at best, and for this reason 

 it pays to spend time and money for an 

 equipment designed for this jiurpose. — Ed.]
