The Honey Bee 152;J 



outright for cash, if possible; if not, ship it to a reliable com- 

 mission-house. JS^early all our extracted honey is sold at home. 

 This honey is put up in five and ten-pound pails as soon as ex- 

 tracted, and allowed to granulate. The labels on our pails tell 

 our customers that pure honey will granulate; they also give di- 

 rections to liquefy the honey if so wanted, and we have yet to 

 hear of a complaint of " sugared honey." 



The woman keeping bees can, if she will or must, do all her 

 own work. A woman cannot very well farm it alone. She must 

 hire men to do the heavy work, and by so doing she becomes 

 dependent. 



While beekeeping is not a " get-rich-quick " business, and prob- 

 ably never will put man or woman in '' millionaires' row," it 

 will provide a comfortable income for the right man or woman. 

 It is an interesting, ever new and broadening study, bringing 

 one close to nature, and for the beekeeper the everyday life 

 easily becomes the ideal simple life.
