 Ijta. Miss., who has for some time 

 M a card in our Queen Directory,

Another bee season is at our thresh- 

 f ■ "What shall the harvest be?" 

 1e "man and management" are fac- 

 t s which enter into a solution of the

iVhen the bee^s have shown up, and 

 t ' number of colonies may be ascer- 

 tned, the necessary stock of supplies 

 f the season should be decided upon
