MANUAL OF THE APIAEY. §1 



DECEMBEK. 



Now is the time to make hires, honey-boxes, etc., for the coming year. Also 

 labels for hives. These may just contain the name of the colony, in whicwase 

 the full record will be kept in a book ; or the label may be made to contain a 

 full register as to time of formation, age of queen, etc., etc. 



I know from experience that any who heed all of the above may succeed in 

 bee-keeping, — may win a double success : receive pleasure and make money. 

 I feel sure that many experienced apiarists will find advice that it may pay to 

 follow. It is probable that errors abound, and certain that much remains 

 unsaid, for of all apiarists it is true that what they don't know is greatly in 

 excess of what they do know.
