complaints that for the agricultural colleges to take up bee 
keeping will make too many bee-keepers and that there will be 
no market for the product of the hives. Fortunately they are 
now in the minority and progressive bee-men are in the lead. 
It would seem that all that is necessary to meet such com- 
plaints is to point to the increased profit that has come to the 
dairy and other farm industries by such development. With 
better methods and larger production has come better markets 
and higher prices. The same condition will apply to bee-keeping, 
which is just beginning to come into its own.
