(AAAREE CUETURE
When You Begin Beekeepino.

mere seems to be feeling among
some OF the commercial beekeepers
mat there is too much ENCOURAGEMENT
given to people in general to go into
peekeeping. In some ways they may
De right in this, and yet there is an.
other side to the subject. | fear these
old-timers who have developed during
| the passing years into extensive honey
producers, forget that once upon a
time they themselves were beginners
with bees; and that if there were none
to take up beekeping, in a few years
there would be no honey produced for
market-it would all be in bee trees
and other places where bees find their
homes when not kept in hives.
So / feel that there should be a rea-
sonable number OF beginners in bee
keeping every year. While in all
probability the majority will drop out
IN year or two, and possibly lose a
little money, it may be said that such
people would lose money in something
anyway, and it might as we'll be lost
IN beekeeping as in anything else.
There will always be folks who like
to dabble in lines of poultry, rabbits,
bees, ETC., and who never will be any
thing but dabblers. However, there
is no good reason why all who begin
beekeeping should not succeed, if they
will give it proper attention.
But what is the best way to begin
with bees? Well, should advise,
first of all, that every prospective bee
keeper get one of the standard books
and periodicals on bees and beekeep-
ing, and study the subject thoroughly
After reading and getting the rudi-
ments - the first principles of the
work, then get the bees, say only one
or two hives, or Colonies" as they
are now called. Each hive would con-
tain the bees, combs. etc. You might
buy full colony, or you could get a
nucleus or two. l would recommend a
3-frame nucleus, if you do not get a
full colony.
But what is a 3-frame nucleus of
bees? 1t consists of 8 frames Of comb
taken from full colony, including the
adhering bees, queen, and also any
honey and brood that may be in the
combs. The 8 frames of bees, etc.,
wiuld be shipped by express in light |
shipping box, and when they arrive
the frames with bees should be lifted |
out of the box into hive previously |
for them.
Two sizes Of hives have been in use
for many years. One holds in its low
est section, called brood chamber"
frames, and the other 10 frames. II
you are going to use the 8frame size,
then you will need five more frames to
fill out the brood chamber; if you have
