Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dependence of Agriculture on the Beekeeping Industry: A Review Owing to conditions brought about by the present war the beekeeping industry must be safeguarded. Beekeeping can be mastered only through years of experience. It cannot be learned as a trade is learned, and there is no floating population of persons seeking employment in bee keeping. The fact that bees have a propensity for stinging discourages many persons from keeping bees, and only certain persons possess the proper temperament to be beekeepers. For these reasons every experienced bee keeper should be encouraged to continue with his bees. Since only exper ienced persons can handle bees, it is almost impossible to find anyone capable of taking care of an apiary in the absence of the owner. Therefore, beekeepers called into the military service often have no other choice than to kill the bees, melt the combs, and sell the wax and used equipment Bees are not good collateral, for neither the banks nor the Government will accept them as security for loans.
