Bee-kri-pitu/ Industry in Victoria. 



peculiar conditions of climate and flora in this southern land, and could 

 embark in bee-keeping somewhat extensively at once. For any one npt 

 so well equipped it would be better to work for at least one season in 

 a well-managed Victorian apiary before commencing operations on his 

 own account or failing to find a vacancy to go slowly and begin m a 



small way. 



Bee-keeping is an intricate business and proficiency cannot be ac- 

 quired in one" season. If adopted as the sole occupation by any one 

 having a natural aptitude for it together with patience and good busi- 

 ness methods, it is a very profitable and interesting pursuit. If carried- 

 on in connexion with some other calling it is a valuable side line. It 

 is above all a healthy and fascinating out-door occupation for which no 

 other country offers better opportunities than the State of Victoria.
