Excerpt from First Report of the State Bee-Keepers' Association of Pennsylvania, 1906
The State of Pennsylvania abounds with the richest sources from which great supplies of honey may be drawn. On every hand, in forest and field, in valley and upon mountain top, the benevolent hand of Nature is holding out these supplies and inviting all who will to send out ready workers to gather them in. Beginning with the arbutus and maple in the early spring and ending with the asters and golden-rod in the late autumn, a constant variety of flow ers yield their sweet treasures to the cheerful laborers, who never tire While there is work to do and weather fair in which it may be done.
Why then should we complain that help is hard to secure as long as we are unwilling to set to work whole communities of these busy toilers, who when tried and properly cared for have never vio lated the confidence of their friends.
