for the greatest success finaiiciallv, I 

 say yes ; but for the most enjoyable 

 life and the best citizenship, I say a 

 mixture. 



D. W. Heise — I cannot say as to the 

 United States, but as a Canuck I would 

 consider it unwise for any one to 

 launch into bee-keeping- as a specialist, 

 and depend upon it for a livelihood in 

 Canada. 



Rev. M. Mahin — I would advise the 

 very few — not the many — to make the 

 business a specialty, and to depend 

 upon it mainly for a living. But in 

 general it is not well to carry all the 

 eggs in one ba.sket. 



J. E. Pond — No, I would not. Not 

 one in 50 can do so and make a success. 

 I speak generally. Once in awhile a 

 good living can be made, by a person 

 especially fitted by Nature and study, 

 but as a rule it can't be done. 



P. H. Elwood — Bee-keeping has af- 

 forded for the past few years a very 

 poor living to a majority of those who 

 depend entirely upon it. Whether 

 prices and other conditions will perma- 

 nently improve remains to be seen. 



Dr. C. C. Miller— That depends. Cer- 

 tainly not, if money is your chief aim. 

 If the most you care for is to live a 

 healthy, happy, and useful life, even 

 then it will hardly do to make bee- 

 keeping your sole business, unless you 

 have some money laid by to fall back 

 on. 



G. W. Demaree — I would not advise 

 every one to enter the bee-business, 

 far from it. If your inclinations lead 

 in that direction, and you have no 

 business that pays for your time and 

 labor, honey-production offers a field 

 of fascinating- work with fair profits 

 to the man suited to the business. 



E. S. Lovesy — Under favorable con- 

 ditions, yes. I am trying to make my 

 living in the business. Without saying- 

 whether I have acquired it or not, I 

 would advise a practical knowledge in 

 the bee-business, as it is more or less 

 like Paddy's flea — now you think you 

 have it. and now you don't. The bee- 

 keeper is liable to a hundred accidents 

 or misfortunes, and if he would obtain 

 success he must be able to grapple with 

 and apply all necessary remedies at 

 once. 





Expects Successful Wintering. 



Bees are all in the cellar and apparently 

 very contented, with every prospect of a 

 successful wintering;. The past season was 

 a rather moderate one here, and in Cairo, 

 this State, while my bees in Colorado have 

 done better than I'nr several years.

Bee Journal Worth $105 to Him. 



I would not be without the Bee Journal, 

 for it is worth its weight in gold to every 

 bee-man who keeps bees. 1 can't see how a 

 bee-man can do business in sellins honey 

 and wax if he is not posted on the market 

 prices and crops of the different States. 

 Last year I had over 13. OUO pounds of huney. 

 I sold my honey from 4 to4'.j cents a pound. 

 When the honey dropt to i^'.j cents i had 

 over 6,000 pounds on hand, but I did not sell 

 for that price. 1 saw in the Bee Journal
