The production OF comb honey Is
the most important question for farm
ers VINO keep bees to study There
is groat deal written In agricultural
papers In regard TO bees that is pretty
difficult for tho average farmer TO
understand. There are so many other
things of more importance TO occupy
his mind that unless articles on boo
keeping are practical aud very plain,
they are not likely TO receive much
attention.
There are great many farmers
that do not know, and very seldom
sec anything written on tho first
principles OF bee keeping, hence they
do not make any effort TO improve
over the old-fashioned way think ing
that it is very difficult trade to
learn.
Every farmer should keep bees. says
