VII Keeping Bees
I picked up a number of the Bee-Keeper’s Review one day and my eye caught this surprising headline:
“A Boy’s Business Worth $1000”
I opened my eyes and read on in astonishment about a boy who started with no more capital than any boy could get together, and, without sacrificing his school or college plans, built up a bee business which he sold for one thousand dollars. In the meantime his bees had not only paid their own board but his as well. If one boy can make a success like that, other boys can. So can girls, for bee-keeping is a form of outdoor work which seems admirably suited to sensible, nature-loving girls.
