PREFJCE. xiii 



Then gradually increase your stocks by natural 

 swarming, and look well after your bee-farm ; it 

 will speedily yield a rich return. 

 Remember — 



The wise and active conquer difficulties 

 By daring to attempt them, Folly and Sloth 

 Shiver and shrink at sight of toil and trouble. 

 And make the impossibilities they fear. 



Frodsham.
