Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Keep Bees Since the first edition of this bulletin was issued in 1911, there has been a considerable development in bee-keeping in Rhode Island; as well as other states, and the prospects are bright for a healthy and steady growth in the future. People generally are learning more and more to use and appreciate honey as a food and the demand is therefore growing. The possibility of keeping and tending a few swarms of bees to produce honey for home use even in small back yards, is becoming more fully known and the profitableness of larger ventures in the production of market honey is also being established. While some of this development is due to an increase of interest in all lines of agriculture, and especially in such ventures to help reduce the high cost of living, which can be pursued on limited areas, such as a small back yard, nevertheless, I believe that a considerable part of it in Rhode Island comes as a result of the educational campaign carried on by Mr. Miller, under the auspices of the State Board of Agriculture through such publications as this bulletin, through lectures and through visits and demonstations in connection with the administration of the Apiary Inspection Law. Before the advent of this work, bee-keepers had frequent disastrous experiences due to bee diseases, insect pests and a general lack of knowledge of bee-keeping which discouraged many of those already in the business and kept otters from attempting to enter the field. Mr. Miller has been able in connection with his inspection work to demonstrate how to effectively deal with most of the troubles with which the bee-keeper must cope and make bee-keeping an assured success instead of a partial or complete failure.
