Getting Our Honey Supply 

 With Only Two Visits a Year 



(By J. A. PiilARCE, Grand Rapids) 



(Continued from pape 166) 

 off the white honey the latter part 

 of July with little or no labor. 



For the benefit of those who 

 have not suitable loft room a 

 building might be erected in the 

 back yard for the bees one hund- 

 red inches long and seven feet 

 wide with four sets of studding 32 

 inches from center to center mak- 

 ing three spaces on each side In 

 each put a window sixteen inches 

 square and a shelf on each side 

 twenty inches wide and twenty 

 inches high the length of the 

 building and a four inch fly en- 

 trance opening up and down for the 

 bees, this house needs no floor and 

 v;ill accommodate six swarms of 

 bees and worked on this auto- 

 matic plan will supply more sweets 

 than any family can consume. Then 

 from this anyone can increase as 

 much as they desire, as there is 

 an unlimited field in this honey 

 tusiness before us. And it is most 

 accessable. We do not have to 

 under the ground or up. in the air 

 or out on the sea for it. It is right 

 at our homes and in this artificial 

 method of increase of queens and 

 bees there are great possibilities in 

 fact I believe there would be great- 

 er possibilities in a highly bred 

 queen and the increase that could 

 be made from her artificially than 

 from two hundred elephants. 



Some might think that in these 

 tall hives the bees would work to 

 disadvantage but this does not 

 work out in practice. Some might 

 also think that if the honey was 

 left on until November, it would 

 become badly travel stained, but 

 this does not occur, perhaps be- 

 cause on crawling up through these 

 tall hires the bees wipe their feet 

 off well, and in these enormous 

 colonies the honey is completely 

 filled and sealed and fully ripened, 

 fit for the gods. So we should all 

 feel elated that we can now so 

 easily procure such an abundant 

 sweet supply with only two visits a 

 year.
