GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



HOW ABOUT NEXT YEAR? 



The season of 1916, just closed, has been a most unusual one. Beekeepers who 

 did not fortify themselves early in the season by securing their hives, sections, and 

 other goods, and having their equipment ready for the bees, found when the honey 

 season was upon them that they were up against the following conditions: 



Everybody wanted bee goods, dealers had depleted stocks on account of the 

 unusual demand, manufacturers were several weeks behind on orders, their factories 

 were working overtime. Some beekeepers were delayed, some disappointed, some 

 got their goods when it was too late.
