THIs season has bc"r unprece-
dented for the quantity of honey
produced IN this section OF country.
MIR. France the apiari>t at Plattevllle
has already extracted over twenty
tons of honey aud Phillip Fellows
year. A man named tlatch ia Rich
land county, claims to have taken
10000 pounds from forty seven
hives, but we can hardly credit this
rep brt. Woodbury. near Darlington,
aud 1allett OF Gllena have also
taken large amounts Of both comb
aud extracted honey, while those
who keep bees IN this ncighborhood
report the yield very large. If the
bucHwheat crop turns out well,
country editors can then feast on
buckwheat cakes aud honey the
coming winter, for the immense
quantities produced ought to bring
It within the reach of even that
poverty stricken class Of mortals.
The bee is nobly maintaining its
reputation for 'inprov,ng each shin
Ing hour" aud this season has fur
ulshed more than the usual number
of shining hours" There are
some advantages even in drouth.
