The crops harvested in Switzerland 

 seem very meager, and I doubt whether we 

 would keep many bees in America if we did 

 not obtain much higher yields. As a busi- 

 ness, apiculture would be all out of the 

 question here under such conditions. In 

 Switzerland the individual apiaries consist 

 of not over ten colonies each on an average. 

 The beekeeper does not depend on his bees 

 for his subsistence, keeping them more for 

 pleasure than for profit.
