AUTOMOBILES AND TRUCKf^ 



107 



With the large truck also, a small delivery car for ordinary trips 

 would be a necessity. 



In the central plant system, a truck of some description is 

 a necessitj^, as it is in migratory beekeeping practiced regularly. 

 Morley Pettit, of Ontario, furnishes an example of the former, 

 using a one-ton Ford truck. Edson Brothers of California are 

 instances of the latter, having a four ton truck for their 2,500 

 colonies. With this number, the larger truck should pay. 



The tendency seems to be towards a truck of a capacity of 

 from one to two tons, as the Ford, Dodge, hght EepubHc, or 

 similar car. 



Trailers 



Not a few beekeepers provide themselves with trailers to be 

 attached to the regular highly geared car, for emergency in super 

 hauling, moving of bees, etc. For the occasional light haul this 



Fig. 49. For transporting bees, there is nothing better than the launch.
