Moving Bees Where a Better Grade of Honey is Secured 



Many are moving their bees from a "worn-out" location to one 

 where better crops can be secured. The thought occurs, why not 

 move from a location where a low grade of honey is secured, to one 

 producing the better? The ready sale at a better price, is a reason. 

 The one located where a low grade of honey is produced, is always 

 in competition with the low grade of foreign honeys. Food for 

 thought.
