It is not always, however, the fault of the bee-keeper that success docs not attend his efforts. He may have commenced with a style of hive that demands more time and attention to work successfully than he is in a position to give. Now, in endeav- oring to give directions for managing the apiary properly there is one blot I must first notice. That the most improved system of bee-keeping should be extended to its fullest limits no one will deny to be an object worthy of every effort; but to the one bee-keeper who can manage the movable-comb system properly, there are, as far as my experience goes, at least ten who cannot, or at any rate do not. It is this latter class for wliom I must write. The fist-comb principle is objected to simply because the combs cannot be moved about at the wish of the bee-keeper. If. however, a hive is adopted with lixt combs, but in which foundation can be used, that system will not be far behind the movable-comb system in point of honey returns, and it will be simplicity itself as far as management is concerned.
