Apiary

And I understand there are a couple plays there.

The Apiary by Kate Douglas.

Let's start by talking about that one.

That one is about a group of low-level scientists who are trying to keep an apiary alive for bees that the populations are dwindling.

... now have that capability.

There are many good things that AI can do for a beekeeper in the bee yard and once they get home at, uh, in their home office.

office.I, I like that AI has access to all the scientific research literature out there-

Selecting Location for an Apiary last fall the burden of complaint in many sections was scarcity of honey for bees to winter on and now some reports from nearly every direction saying a great many bees will perish here this winter of course the latter state of affairs is to a great extent the direct or indirect result of the former occasioned by the early approach of winter and its long continuation without the usual mild intermission which rendered feeding impracticable with those who trusted to luck for an opportunity to feed before this time in many cases dysentery has developed itself among bees improperly protected being packed away too warm or not warm enough or without sufficient absorbance and in some cases with improper food their long confinement rendering them peculiarly sensitive to defective preparation As a consequence, many beekeepers will become dissatisfied with their present locations and will turn their attention elsewhere for fairer fields and pastures green, with a view to making beekeeping more reliable and to retrieve losses sustained during the past two discouraging seasons.

To such persons and those about to embark in beekeeping as a specialty, a few hints regarding the selection of a location for an apiary may not be out of place.

Be in no hurry about making your decision, or rather start about it soon enough to allow yourself plenty of time to thoroughly canvas and investigate the different points under consideration.
