•S2 OUTAPIARIES 



Other Considerations 



If the apiary is to be placed witii otlier people and partly 

 in their care, the beekeeper must exercise judgment in choice 

 of families. A man who lets his cows run upon the roads, leaves 

 his fences out of repair, and has things at loose ecds about the. 

 premises is hardly the man with whom to place your bees. 



When possible it is advisable to place the apiary within sight 

 of a house to reduce the danger of depredations to a minimum, 

 and it should be near enough to the main traveled road, but 

 remembering that angry bees are apt to travel twenty rods or 

 more to seek revenge. 



In case it is intended to use a building already on the premises 

 as a honey-house, the apiary .should be as readily accessible as 

 possible to the honey-house.
