CHAPTER XVIII 
SELLING THE PRODUCE 
THERE are a great many bee-keepers, mostly 
those who have small apiaries, to Whom the sell- 
ing of their produce at remunerative prices is an 
annual source of difficulty. These men, living 
as they, do often in good but remote honey dis- 
tricts, can produce honey much more easily than 
they can dispose’ of it, while others having prac- 
tically an unlimited demand are at their wits’ end 
to supply their customers. It is quite time that 
this state of things was remedied, and some scheme 
launched on a co-operative basis whereby honey 
can be distributed evenly over the markets. The 
schemes which are now being inaugurated by 
the Smallholder would no doubt embrace some- 
thing of the kind, as there are infinite possibilities 
in it, both for the selling of honey and any other 
kind of produce grown on small-holdings. As 
the thing stands at present, one man is producing 
large crops with no market for them, owing some- 
times, I confess, to his own lack of business energy, 
while another man is running here, there, and 
everywhere in vain attempts to satisfy his numer- 
ous and ever increasing customers.
