Description
Excerpt from A Year''s Work in an Out-Apiary: Or an Average of 114½ Pounds of Honey Per Colony in a Poor Season, and How It Was Done
The sun rose bright and clear on the morning of April 14, 1905, the morning of my sixtieth birthday; and as old Sol peered over the hill-top in all his golden splendor, kissing the swelling buds and cheer ing all animated nature with the intuition that spring has come, I proposed to Mr. Clark, my partner, that we go over to the out-apiary, five miles distant, and set the bees out of the cellar, the bees in the home apiary having been set out two or three days previously. The horse was soon hitched up, as the roads were too muddy and full of deep ruts for the auto, and we were at our destination before nine o''clock, with the stands all prepared for the bees.
