DEMONSTRATION ON HANDLING BEES GIVEN TO CLASS IN AGRICULTURE
BY ARTHUR RHOADS
The picture shows the agriculture class from Langston Agricultural and Normal University of Oklahoma.
These young men had never taken up the study of bees, and I invited the professor and students of the agriculture class to come to my home, where I gave them a lecture and demonstration on handling bees. The class was very enthusiastic on the subject of bees, and a number of them said that they were going to take up the study when they returned to their homes in different parts of the State.
With the increased acreage of alfalfa, sweet clover, and cotton, Oklahoma will be one of the leading honey-producing States of the Union.
