Most Important Thing for Beginners If one is to succeed in bee-keeping it is necessary that he should know something about what items form the most important factors in making for success. Without pasturage for the bees, success is impossible. A good hive is l>etter than a poor one. There are strains of bees that will give double the profit that others will. ."Xnd so one might go on adding to the list. If a number of experienced bee-keepers were each asked to make out such a list, perhaps no two lists would be ex- actly alike. But one thing would most certainly be found in every list. It might be called by different names, "a bee- book," "a text-book," "a book of in- struction about bees," or what-not, but all would mean the same thing.

To make the best of one's bees, r,ne should have some knowledge of their management before actually undertak- ing the work, so the wise beginner will have a book of instruction before get- ting the bees. Unfortunatelv there are many who begin bee-keeping without any book as a guide.
