THE BEE GARDEN 
Both commercial bee-men and hobbyists have 
much to gain by the cultivation of a bee garden. A 
bee garden can be made to furnish a bit of nectar 
for your bees during the off season and more im- 
portant, it can provide within easy reach a means 
for the owner to study a variety of honey plants and 
learn which might be adaptable and desirable for his

locality. Most localities are in need of more honey 
plants. A bee garden is an economical way of find- 
ing plants which can be used to better your bee 
pasture and also can provide a diversification and 
real enjoyment for those who make of it either a 
minor or major hobby. 
A bee garden may occupy a little space or be as 
extensive as the owner wishes to make it. Under the 
strain of present day living we are in need of daily 
diversification. A variety of flowers being visited 
by bees in search of nectar provides an ideal atmos- 
phere for one to drop his troubles and marvel at 
the wonders of nature. 
Invite your friends to enjoy the bee garden with 
you. You may explain with pride that the more nec- 
tar flowers there are present continuously to build 
strong colonies, the more bees there will be to pol- 
linate the fruits, gardens and fields of the neighbor- 
hood.
