> Though a queen-bee can, as we have seen, lay the almost incredible number of 3500 eggs a day-that is, twice her own weight in the twenty-four hours -- in the last resort all depends on the care and forethought of the bee-master. If he interferes too much with Nature, he will spoil her plans, but if he does not assist her, his profits will be small, for the bees are working for the benefit of their own race and not his. Between October and April, when little or nothing can be done in the bee-garden, he will make his preparations for the summer, and not leave everything till the last moment.
