Elements of Beekeeping 21 



Prevent division of colony during honey flow, because it 

 reduces the honey crop. 



Operate the apiary for "chunk" comb honey or extracted 

 honey. The production of section honey requires skill in man- 

 agement and a rapid honey-flow. 



Keep the colonies strong by using young, vigorous queens. 



Give the colonies ample stores for the winter and protec- 

 tion from the cold. 



Treat diseased colonies as soon as they are discovered. 



Read the bee magazines and keep abreast of the times. 



Become a member of a beekeepers' organization. '
