How to Produce Extracted Honey I. PREPARING COLONIES FOR THE FLOW. To produce I ioncy one must have a big force of bees. The honc.v-productiveness of an apiary is not to be measured by the number of colonies it contains, but by the number of bees in the individual colony. Therefore the only way to achieve the best results in honey is to see that each colony is in good working order by the time the flow opens. To do so it will be necessary to examine each separatel- in order to ascertain its condition. Special attenticjn must be given to each queen. Every one that is in any way defective should be replaced with another that is young and vigorous. It will never do to hang on to a queen whose prolificness is doubtful. The colony which she occupies will yield Aery little surplus, or, in all probability, no honey at all. Far better to replace her, cen if ou have to bu- another in order to do so. The ne.xt thing that must be taken notice of is the strength of each colony. If the flow be a month or si.- weeks ahead, and your weak stocks have young prolific queens, you may make an effort to build them up to full strength in time for it; but if it be near at hand, a better wav is to unite them.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
