Some women cannot keep bees, any more than some men; but many can, and to their great profit. Often a farmer’s wife or daughter welcomes an occupation for the sake of its novelty, something to break up the routine of cooking, washing and sewing; and bee-keeping, even if it brings only a few pounds of honey for the table, is undertaken and carried through with pleasure and delight.—Ex.
Let it be remembered, says Julia Allyn, that the more bees there are on farms the greater will be the product of the farms; for the bees distribute pollen and fertilize flowers more thoroughly than they can be fertilized otherwise.
