BEE- CULTURE. 



In conclusion, it may be remarked that the management of bees 

 is like the management of any other business, and it must be watched 

 and the small details attended to with the greatest care. ' Where there 

 is failure, it is the result of neglect of these minor matters of detail. 

 If properly pursued, there is no feature of the industry of the farm, 

 as we have before stated, that is more profitable than bee-keeping ; 

 and this feature may be made ornamental as well as useful, and be a 

 constant source of pleasure no less than of gain.
