PEARCE METHOD OF BEE-KEEPING 



PREFACE 



%?» 



N writing this book I do it for the purpose of putting 



^the best things that I have learned in my thirty-five 



years of bee keeping, in condensed form so they may 



be perpetuated for the benefit of any who may wish 



to take up bee keeping for pleasure or profit. 



Thanks to modern methods it can be electrotyped and thus be 



preserved and^can easily and cheaply be placed in the hands of 



many who should have it. 



By this method, bee_keeping can be easily pursued almost 

 everywhere in the cities and country. There should be very 

 many more people interested in gathering this enormous honey 

 supply which is^now allowed to go to waste. 



The money making possibilities in honey production is esti- 

 mated to be worth millions of dollars and it is a refined, health- 

 giving business which has wonderful possibilities for the young 

 and a pleasing and interesting occupation for those who have 

 retired from active business.
