Apiarians

If Apiarians are anxious to have large quantities of choice honey, let them manage their bees so as to have powerful stocks in the early

And many modern Apiarians are almost disposed to rank the bee for sagacity, as next in the scale of creation to man.

For many years, Apiarians have attempted to make the feeding of bees on

From these considerations, it is very evident that swarming, so far from being, as some Apiarians have considered it, a forced or unnatural event, is one, which in a state of nature, could not possibly be dispensed with.

From these and other causes which my limits will not permit me to notice, it has hitherto been found impossible, in the uncertain climate of our Northern States, to multiply colonies very rapidly, by natural swarming; and bee-keeping, on this plan, offers very poor inducements to those who are aware how little has been accomplished, even by the most enthusiastic, experienced and energetic Apiarians.
