THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



year (summer 1913) by spring 

 count, and have doubled my num- 

 ber of colonies by dividing at the 

 close of the clover flow, and I did 

 not do any feeding. 



I am in the business to stay. I 

 have ordered $175.00 worth of bee 

 supplies for the coming season,, and 

 anticipate a busy year in the 

 apiary. 



Yours truly,

Every flower produces a different 

 flavor; if you do not like one kind 

 of honey, try another. For strong 

 flavors, try basswood, goldenrod or 

 buckwheat honey; for mild flavors, 

 try clover, etc. 



There is more nourishment in a 

 pound of honey, than there is in a 

 pound of beefsteak. Meat contains 

 65 per cent water, besides the fiber, 

 which is indigestible. Honey is 20 

 per cent water, and is almost all 

 digested, leaving nothing to burden

To the Editor "Bee-keepers' Re- 

 view, How can we educate people 

 to eat more honey? If every local 

 newspaper in the country would 

 carry a standing advertisement, 

 somewhat like this: 



"HONEY" 

 "Kilt thou HONEY becau.se it is 

 good," Prov. 24:13. 



the people, as a whole, would eat 

 more honey. 



J^et local bee-men have articles 

 like the following in the local 

 papers from time to time. 



"Honey is not only a medicine, 

 but a food, direct from Nature, the 

 nectar of flowers, gathered,, modi- 

 fied and evaporated by the bees. 

 No purer or better food has been 

 given to man by his Creator. 



the system. It is all used in pro- 

 ducing heat or energy. One can 

 eat two pounds of honey at the 

 price of one pound of butter." 

 ( Here in the South at least, we 

 can eat more than three pounds 

 of honey at the price of one pound 

 of butter. Ed.) 



Then, below that, I would give 

 the prices of honey, different sizes 

 of packages., and time of delivery 

 of orders, etc. If every apiarist 

 would thus keep the idea of "Eat 

 more Honey" before his commun- 

 ity, the great central markets 

 would not be overstocked, and as a 

 result, prices would stiffen gen- 

 erally.
