Economy. 



In concluding this chapter I can only repeat to the reader 

 how essential the strictest economy is when the apiarist 

 desires to make money by breeding bees for sale. Unforeseen 

 misfortunes are constantly occurring, which reduce the profits 

 and increase the expenses, so that I advise every one to try 

 working only one stock for increase at first, tiU he gains 

 experience. 



The method of queen-rearing detailed in this chapter is 

 undoubtedly the best for the tyro. When he has become an 

 adept at it by repeated experience, he should, if he desires to 

 raise queens on a very large scale — let us say by the hundred 

 — study siach works as " Qaeen Rearing in England," by 

 F. W. L. Sladen (price Is. ; published by Houlston & Sons) ; 

 Swarthmore's " Commercial Queen Hearing " (published in 

 America, and obtainable from the British Bee Journal Oifice, 

 price 2s. 2d post free) ; G. W. Philips' " Modern Queen 

 Rearing" (price lOd. post free); and Doolittle's "Queen Rear- 

 ing " (price 4s. 9d. post free), — -both the latter books being 

 publislied in America, and obtainable from Mr. George Rose, 

 of 50, Great Charlotte Street, Liverpool.
