SUMMARY 
That the climate and flora of Tennessee are adapted to beekeeping 
there is no doubt. 
Italian bees kept in the old way produce an average of 39% 
pounds of chunk honey per colony. Where modern methods and ap- 
pliances are used the yields vary from 50 to 110 pounds. 
Use the modern 10 frame hive. It is practically impossible to 
keep colonies strong in the log or box “gum.” 
Use full sheets of foundation in both the brood chamber and super, 
and thus conserve the energy of the bees and increase your honey yield. 
Abandon the black or German bee. Increase your honey yield and 
facilitate your work and reduce your stings by keeping Italian bees. 
Start beekeeping in a small way and increase your colonies as 
you become experienced. 
Study your bees in connection with a reliable book or bee journal. 
Control the bee moth by keeping your colonies strong. . 
Prevent loss from foul brood, and sacbrood by requesting an in- 
spection of your bees.
