The historic riddle propounded by
Samson; "Out of the eater came
forth meat, and out of the strong
came forth sweetness," was anewered
by citing the lion and the honey;
and even then there was a woman In
it.
For years beekeeping for women
was regarded as an unsolved riddle.
To -day itis no puzzle, for both wives
and maidens are making money at tt.
"'Sweets for the sweet."
No Better Opportunity for Country
Girls.
A few year.:ago the writer inter-
viewed :five woinen who had made a
suceeee of apiary work, and all of
thein were dgetdedly oe opinion that
there was vaned chance for a girl
ler a married woman succeeding in
beekeeping If she went about it the
right way.
Miss Ethel Robson, of . Ilderton,
said:, "For the girl who wished to
make her living in the country there
to no business that affords a better
Opportunity than the keeping of
bees."
Miss Margaret W. Scott, of Meyers -
burg, went so far as to say that she
believed beekeeping was an occupa-
tion for women rather than for men;
that there is muck to gain and little
to lose in it.
The Work Sults Woman's Natural
Disposition.
Miss 1I. B. Treverrow, or Meadow -
vale, observed that women were more
and more turning to beekeeping.
Much depended upon the individual.
Tie work was healthful, being main-
ly out-of-doors during the summer,
"Woman's natural dispoattion to be
careful, painstaking, watchful and
energetic has run play in this occu-
pation, as there is much to interest,
to`learn and to do in the work of an
apiary."
Mrs. Fred, Ram, of Bath, most de-
cidedly thought that a woman could
support herself by keeping bees. "She
who undertakes to do so should put
asmuch energy, care and thought in-
to tite work that she would in any
other' occupation. Her heart must be
in it.'
Beekeeping Has a Fascination for
Female Apiarists.
The late Mrs. G. A. Deaaman, .of
Brussels, had a long experience in bee
Management. She said: "The apiary
has a fascination for the woman who
goes earnestly into beekeeping. It is
n healthful occupation, for it is large-
ly out-of-door activity, and it gives
one a change of work and thought.
Some heavy lifting is necessary now
and then, although assistance is us-
ually available. But a woman must
make up her mind to give practi-
pally all her time to the work dur-
ing the period of swarming and ex-
tracting—say June and July. After
that there is bottling, packing, label-
ling, etc., although this may be
lightened by selling in bulk, which is
the best way alter all to ddsyose of
surplus honey, But for months to-
gether the bees require little or no
attention."
Some Apiary Costs.
Miss le IL Pettit, of Genre,town,
writing in January last, given rue fol-
lowing up -to -emu information: "A
woman can make it go, if site lu,s
snificlent initiative, eteergy and
strength, and lastly rl sae tines the
bees. lntvrest In tee wore and love
of bees must be etrong enough to
overcome many diedculties beeides
the inevitable sting. A ltgot start is
advisable, say two or three colonies,

teries of the hive, and tae gene:al
principles 01 management.
It would be well fur her to begin
with standard equipment—the ten -
frame Langstroth hive for brood
vhamber—but would advise slimmer
supers, because of their lighter
weight. The following lest gives
estimate of cost for start with two
colonies; -

Ontario crop reports show an aver-
age of about 55 pounds per colony;
prices vary as in other produce.
The number of colonies that can
be profitably kept depends on the wo-
men and pig the location,
Probable Profits:
Miss Jessie Lees, of Brindale, also
writing in January, says: "b'or a
Strong woman with nerve and de-
termination, I oenaider beekeeping a
good healthy occupatiun. Starting in
a small way with two colonies, the
Dost Lor bees and equipment for first
year would be about $150, not in-
cluding workshop. She could increase
stock and equipment year ny year,
according, to her means, to fifty col-
onies, which would be enough for one
woman to handle alone. From that
--'number the net return should be
y 4 0 0 0 yuan. This is only approxi-
mate, as prices and conditions vary
greatly from year to: year,"
Male Expert Approves of Women as
Apiarists,
Mr, Morlay Pettit, of Georgetown,
formerly Provincial Apiarist, says:
''Through force of circumstances
more women are actual beekeepers
than the records show. There is no
obstacle in honey producing thata
woman cannot overcome with her in -
