To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
if he has not heard it, his neigh- bors have talked it when not heard by him. I have even been asked for ten pounds of nice comb honey as pay for what honey the bees- gathered from a ten-acre lot of Canada thistles- which the owner of the land had allowed to grow up through his shiftlessness. Such a pamphlet as the one proposed will do away with all this way of thinking, if placed in the hands of those about us before they be- gin to be jealous; and instead of their think- ing that we are getti...ng rich off their broad acres they will welcome the bee-keepers of the land as a blessing in helping them to secure good crops of fruit and grain. It will be remembered that I have taken a little different view of the matter than most of the writers on this subject; and as I believe this view is the right one, I wish to say a few words further by way of emphasis in the mat- ter. The view I hold to, and, as I believe, the only right view, is, that the first object of hon- ey n the flowers was not as a food or luxury for man, nor even to sustain the ife of the bees, but as a means to an end, and that end was, that the fruit, or female blossoms of plants, which could not be possibly fertilized in any other way, might be fertilized through the agen- cy of insects which would be attracted to these flowers by the tempting and attractive morsels of sweet they spread out before them as a sumptuous feast, while honey as food for the bee and for the use of man came in as a secondary item.
