When putting on supers the brood is placed on the outside of the brood-nest, the honey in the center. By keeping a strict watch on the surplus apartment, and clipping the queens each spring, a visit about once each week gives perfect control of the bees. Davisois, Mich., Mar. 4, TART OUT-APIARIES, BUT ONIvY AS RAPIDIvY AS EX- PERIENCE AND CIRCUM- STANCES WIEIv WARRANT. BY HARRY LATHROP. I agree with you, Mr. Editor, when you say that more bees must be kept than formerly, if in- r ' creased financial ' returns are to be I . obtained. Years ago, when the price of honey was much high- er than it is now, and the yield greater per colo- ny, quite a nice income could be secured from a single apiary located favorably. In the January number of the Review you advise bee-keepers to enlarge their business and make it a financial success by increasing the number of colonies. This is all right, but I think one should grow into the business, and not add colonies or out- apiaries faster than he can do so and at the same time be master of all depart- ments of his business. He must know.
