Stone, of Spring- field, 111.: Editor York:—I am sending you an en- graving which shows the north part of my apiary. In the foreground is one of my con- crete hive-stands or hive-foundations on a Buying Honey to Sell Again We have often wondered why more bee- keepers do not buy honey to sell again when they run out of their own crop during the fall and winter. It seems to us that it is very unwise for any bee-keeper to be out of honey at any time of the year, if it is at all possible to get it somewhere else, even though he did not make very much profit on the honey bought elsewhere and sold to his customers.
