Bee Disease Control ■ 29 



If, instead of "telling the bees" when the caretaker dies, some 

 other person gives them proper care, "bad luck" will have no effect 

 on the bees. 



Every beekeeper should have at least one good book on bee cul- 

 ture; more would be better that his views be not! too much influ- 

 enced by a single writer. At least one bee journal should come 

 regularly to the person who hopes to get satisfactory results from 

 his bees.
