EHKiRATES TO SUCCESS., 



Tlie last picture shows one of the large 

 apiaries of Mr. Geo. B. Laiinaii, of Pasa- 

 dena, Cal., a native of the Middle West. 

 Mr. Larinan went to California a few years 

 ago, settling in the San Joa(]uin Valley, 

 where he commenced the keeping of bees 

 commercially. After spending a year or more 

 here, Mr. Lai'inan went to Pasadena. Mov- 



ing his bees and buying more, he was able 

 to establish two large apiaries of about 400 

 colonies each. These are located at Duarte, 

 Los Angeles Co., among the orange-or- 

 chards, the bees having access to thousands 

 of acres. 



The fact that all the orange-orchards are 

 irrigated makes jjossible a crop every yeai-, 

 altlio it sometimes varies in (juantity.
