A man named Fessler, who ran an apiary in the North, conceived the idea
of making honey the year round. In the fall he loaded his hives upon a
flatboat and floated to the land of perpetual sun. But the bees, finding
it always summer, ceased to lay up honey at all and Fessler had his
expense for his experience.
Lessons are easily drawn from a thing like this. Since the world was
made, the experience of life is the nearer the sun the less the work. But
the real lesson is deeper. Cannot the farmer who works the soil year in
and year out, with no chance for a rest and no returns to the soil see it?
