If a voyage out of England is not possible, a friend may be going who will be pleased to know of a good place at which to stay. Those of us who cannot get so far away may know of others, in our own health resorts, watering-places, &c., wlio would be only too pleased to receive fellow-bee-keepers as " paying ; Quite likely other methods of giving a helping hand may suggest themselves, and if they do there should be no hesitation in carrying them out.
