How to Keep Bees for Profit. By D. Everett Lyon,
Ph.D. (Mac- !MEM and Co. 6s. 6d. net.)—This text-book comes from the United States, a fact which will have to be remembered, though practically much of the counsel will be applicable here. The kinds kept on this side, for instance, are, we think, the same, Italians (often called Ligurian) and Blacks. One interesting difference will be found in the " Sources of Honey." This catalogue fills about eight pages divided into sections, "North and North-East," " Middle," and " South," the last being rather more than equal to the other two. Then there is a supplementary list covering sixteen pages ! Eight shillings per gallon jar seems to be a fair price, but this has to be secured by txavelling,—i.e., you go the round of the retail shops with a little cage of live bees under your arm. It is not every me who would care to do this even for profit.
