28 Wisconsin Bulletin 264 



Future Wisconsin beekeeping can easily be expected to 

 produce many tons of the best grades of honey and thus save 

 nature's most healthful sweet. A pound of honey is about 

 equal in food value to a pound of sirloin steak, which costs 

 much more. This food is now going to waste for lack of 

 enough bees to gather it. The possibihties of beekeeping as a 

 most fascinating means of gaining a living are increasing 

 every year. Wisconsin oifers almost ideal conditions in 

 climate, soil, honey plants and is adjacent to the rapidly de- 

 veloping honey markets so that beekeeping should prove one 

 of Wisconsin's greatest minor industries.
