CHAPTER IV 



BASIS OF PLACING THE APIARY 



Probably the two best ways to locate apiaries would be either 

 to own the ground upon which you expect to place your bees or 

 have some relative own it. It may be possible, in many instances 

 to purchase an acre or two in the desired location or to lease it 

 for a long term of years. 



However, not being able to purchase the desired spot, and 

 having no relative fortunately located directly in the path of your 

 proposed apiary, the only thing remaining is to make arrange- 

 ments with the existing forces — namely — the occupants of the 

 location chosen. 



Owner Not Renter 



Where nossihle choose a land owner and not a renter , and one 

 who seems to be satisfied with his location with no desire to 

 change. It is annoying, after having gone to some lengths to 

 choose and arrange your location, to be moved off by the next 

 renter who does not like bees, or the next purchaser of the farm 

 who does not care to be "bothered" with them. 



Where the location is sought for only a single season such 

 considerations are not of so much weight, but we presume that a 

 majority of locations are desired permanently, and it is in these 

 instances that it is wise to choose well the man and family with 

 whom you try to make arrangements for your apiary. 



Rental Price 



There are three possible ways of arranging for rental in placing 

 bees; by share, cash, or gift.
