. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. 676 THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. Oct. 6, 1904. asked. It is one of the best forms of advertising pure honey, although rather expensive. Still, when the number of future sales of honey are considered, as a result of such sampling, it is perhaps as cheap advertising as can be done. During the time our demonstrator was in that particular store, her retail sales amounted to an average of about $40 a week. About Bee-Keepers' Planning. Good plans are of great importance. When a new piece of work is to be done, which, without planning, would take a day"s time, it may be economy sometimes to spend half a day in planning, for, by that half-day's planning, the whole of the work can be done inside the remaining half day. The Bee-Keepers' Review, in speaking of this, says : " If a man would just take owf day 'off' and spend it in studying his business, going over all of its phases care- fully, he might find it the most profitable day's time he ever ; That is well said, and true. Hardly so true, however, are the two sentences immediately preceding, which read : "Most of us do too little thinking and planning. We are so busy working that we have no time for ; There are, no doubt, bee-keepers who do too little think- ing and planning, but hardly " most of us ". One of the great attractions of bee-keeping is the constant arising of new problems and the enjoyment of studying them out. Compare bee-keeping with other occupations in general, and your average bee-keeper will take a pretty high rank as a thinker and planner. Just because of this our bee-papers are filled with new ideas from year to year. And just be- cause he is a thinker and a planner, each beginner in bee- keeping gets up something new—perhaps a hive—even if he does find out later that it has already seen the light, or is to be cast aside as worthless. Oh, yes, " most of us " do a lot of thinking and planning. Newspaper
