16 BEGINNER'S BEE BOOK 



Beekeeping for Women. — The woman 

 who keeps bees does not have problems that are 

 essentially different from those which confront 

 a man. Many women are engaged in honey 

 production successfully, and while there is some 

 work for which she is not physically adapted, 

 such as putting the bees into the cellar, where 

 they are wintered in that way, it is usually pos- 

 sible to have such heavy work done by men or 

 boys. 



Beekeeping can be developed to occupy 

 one's entire time for the year or merely- the 

 summer season, as best suits one's inclination 

 and opportunity.
