Hints that May be Valuable.
If you wish nice yellow beeswax everytime, do not use any iron vessel
in rendering it. Use tin, brass or copper, as iron will make it dark.
Don’t rest too long, as you may lose considerable, and the “Stitch in
time saves nine” adage holds good in bee-keeping, surely. Have you got
your sections, frames, and the supplies all ready for next season? If
not, you had better see about it, as no bee-keeper in the world can
reap a full harvest, and be behind with his supers, hives, frames, etc.
It is always best to be ready, whether the harvest comes or not. But
should it come, and find the tub bottom up, but little is caught.
It is not best to ask too many questions when you start out in
apiculture. Remember that one idea learned yourself, is worth more than
if two were told you.
Remember that you may read agricultural papers for years, and without
any practice you are no farmer. It is the same with bees. It is right
and proper to learn all you can from others, but to be real successful
you must learn some yourself.
