V2i OUTAPIARIES 



with a small boiler and cold honey, steam will not be generated 

 as fast as needed. 



Power for the extractor is generally furnished by a gasohne 

 engint'. The engine should be bought sufficiently large so that 

 it will carry an exti-a load of a second extractor or of other equip- 

 ment should such be needed later. 



^^ here electric power is available a motor instead of a gas 

 engine is desirable. The motor is cleaner, easier running and 

 moic economical. It can be turned on when ready and stopped 

 duiing intervals when desired. 



I would urge upon all beekeepers, keeping a cost account of 

 the different operations in outapiary honey production. Espec- 

 ially is this desii'able with the use of trucks. In no other way 

 can the beekeeper be sure that he is using the most economical 

 system in caring for his bees. iSo far, beekeeping has been carried 

 on by the hit or miss system and without any idea of costs such 

 as have helped build up the large businesses of today.
