Excerpt from How to Keep Bees Since the first edition of this bulletin was issued bee-keeping in Rhode Island has progressed considerably. Several commercial apiaries have been established, numerous fruit growers have bought bees for the pollination of the bloom, and two men have established commercial queen rearing business which is proving a help to local bee-keepers. Rhode Island offers excellent opportunities for profitable bee culture. The soil is diversified, the flora is varied and extensive, and the, climate is not rigorous. Some of the more densely wooded parts of the State are not adapted to the pursuit as a business, nor even adapted to the support of more than a few colonies here and there. Other parts, particularly those having considerable dairy farming and fruit growing, are well adapted to bee culture on a substantial scale and here and there are locations which compare favorably with the best in the land and will profitably support large apiaries. The greater part of the Island of Rhode Island, the southerly part of Bristol County, the southwesterly-part of the State bordering on Narragansett Bay and around the coast to the State line for one to five miles inland and several places adjacent to the Great Swamp are among the good locations referred to. Methods of bee culture have changed radically within recent years, apparatus has been improved and more nearly standardized and bee-keeping thereby made less laborious. To aid in extending bee-keeping in this State and to make it easier and more profitable are the objects of this bulletin.
