Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Beekeeper, Vol. 11: April 1936 My method is to stencil the number on a piece of painted section tacked on the hive and supers. I weighed a colony daily the past season and would be willing to pay ten dollars for a similar record for the, past 17 years for which I have colony yields. It would enable me to predetermine in a measure at least the probable needs of supers and treatment. The high daily yield for 1935 was 14 1-2 pounds on June 1, from the locust. The 1935 crop of honey for this region was reported as fifty per cent normal. I, take a little consolation for improvement in methods of management since my crop for 1935 of lbs. Per colony was lbs. Higher than any average crop for 19 years and per cent of the peak crop of 1934. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
