In all matters per- taining to the advancement of the beekeeping industry the beekeeper should therefore find a warm ally in the fruit-grower. Relation of apparatus to the development of beekeeping. It may perhaps be considered as characteristic of human endeavor that when a new piece of apparatus is invented it is first made as com- plex as possible and, if it becomes widely adopted and is used commercially, much of the later develop- ment is in the direction of simphfication. This is cer- tainly true of the appar- atus used by the beekeeper, and the stage of the de- velopment of the industry in any country may be approximately judged by the complexity of the apparatus Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Phillips, Everett Franklin, 1878-1951.
