sustained last season because of I'M

there will be need for all the honey

opportunity to the bee-keeper to ex-
tend his business in such way ss
to make it of lasting benefit to him

suggested and urged that you increase
your apiary as much as is consistent
with getting a fair crop per colony
and especially that you manipulate
the bees so as to obtain maximum

1T has been learned by correspond
