How Many Colonies of Bees Shall We
Keep In Our Apiaries?

There seems to be a growing tendens
cy of late to multiply our number OF
colonies rather than to SEQ how good re
suits can be obtained from few. The
question arises, Can or cannot bees be
handled SO that so colonies will produce
as good results, with less labor, than is
got from 200 worked in the way of many
apiaries? Mr.. c. M. Doolittle, wei.
known authority on all matters pertain
ing to the honeybee, believes they can
and thinks that the day is coming when
one colony will produce as good results
as two are now doing, if they do moi
equal four He thus expresses himself
in the columns of The American Bee
Journal: 81 often find that 200 colonies
give but little if any better results thar
do SO, while know that more work il
required to care for 200 during veal
than is required for So To this work
we have to add the extra expense OF
hives, sections, ETC., together with the
large amount Of honey it takes to feed
those extra $50 colonies. This last, il
my opinion, is wherein lies the main
trouble in making a large number pro.
duce assmany pounds per colony as do
few
From careful experiments and OBJ
servations I am led to believe that il
takes at least so pounds of honey to car
ry one colony of bees through the year,
hence if we only get 80 pounds from
colony, an average yield that some bee
keepers tell me they are satisfied with,
we get only one-third of the honey our
bees gather, to pay US back for all ou1
labor and capital invested, and also only
one-third of the product of our field.
This product of the field cannot be over
looked, as / have reason to believe from
past experience.
Mr.. Doolittle urges that we make 9
few bees do for us what the market gar.
deners of the large cities make small
piece of land do for them-namely, Sc
cure as much profit from an acre of land
as some of our country people do from
their tens Of acres. He finds by care.
full study of our bee papers that it is nc
unusual thing to SEQ reports where so
colonies OF bees have produced 5000,
5000, 1000 and even 5000 pounds Of
honey, while he has yet to see a report
quadrupling such where four times the
number of colonies were kept. He has
himself secured an average of 1855
pounds Of comb honey from 81 colonies
of bees, spring count, as the average re.
ault of single season.
