Bee Farming : Honey Flora Of Western Australia, R S. Coleman

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

A GOOD knowledge of the nectar producing plants of the State is essential for success in commercial beekeeping.

The beekeeper who has a good knowledge of which plants produce good flows, when the flows might be expected, and where good stands of those plants may be found is the one who has the best chance of success.

Successful Commercial Beekeeping, R S. Coleman

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

THE eye of the master fattens the cattle. One of the oldest farming proverbs this is as true of bee-keeping as any other branch of farming.

Careful husbandry is the basis of all successful bee-keeping; anything else is secondary.

Making Your Own Beehives, R S. Coleman

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

THE publication of this article runs counter to my own principles to some extent as I have long maintained that most beekeepers will find it cheaper in the long run to purchase factory-made hives and frames.

I realise, however, that many apiarists possess both the skill and equipment to make hive-bodies, and that some at least can occupy slack periods profitably in this manner.
