in bee keeping appears to be the want of suitable food

Spring has become warm enough for them to work,
because they have nothing to work upon The hr't
business il not to gather honey, but pollen, to make
bread for the young bees. So although the weather
is warm enough, and the bees lively enough, until the
buds afford pollen they have nothing to work upon to

produce early swams This is a serious drawback in
late seasons and in situations where polenprodacing
