A person who has had no experience
with bees commonly makes the mis-
take of supposing that the roses, peo-
nies, sweet peas, dahlias or other
gaudy blossoms of his garden will fur
nish a quantity of honey. Their value
Is almost negligible, except that some
of them yield a little pollen. It Is to
the modest white clover In the orchard
or on the roadside or the weeds of
pasture or woodlot or the blossoms of
trees like the basswood that the bees
go for the bulk of their honey. It
does not pay to cultivate any plant for
its value as a honey producer. The
orchard Is a splendid place for the
apiary, where the bees can build up
on the first nectar in the spring, and
the blossoms have the benefit of the
bees' visits. —John W. Love In Coun
tryside Magazine.
