81. Augustine correspondence of Jack
sonVlIle citizen; Few people, even in Flor
IDA Know of the profit derived from keen
ing bees and selling the honey and wax
}, Il. Ingraham, land commissioner of
the Jacksonville, st. Augustine and In
dian River railroad. is gathering data on
this interesting subject. The following is
a good Illustration of the experiences Of
beekeepers on the Indian River: T. NJ.
nf Dab
smyrna, speaking Of his success with
bees, says that when he first came to
FLORIDA, about fifteen years ago. he pur-
chased IN Jacksonville on his way south
barrel of Florida syrup On arriving at
MS destination some Of the natives came
to visit him. and finding that he had
plenty OF syrup, suggested a trade for
some money. Mr.. Adams accepted the
proposition, and liked the honey so well
that he determined to have some bees
his own. After some trouble he became
possessed of a small number. Since that
time he has never been without them
but has never considered it a business,
simply spending two hours once a week
looking them over, except in the season
Of extracting honey. This year he started
with spring count Of seventy colonies
ana began extracting on May / contfnu-
ing until July 20, in which time he took
from sixty colonies %, $50 pounds of honey
and $50 pounds of wax, and increased his
his stock from seventy to 120 colonies
AT the low prevailing price he sold the
honey for something over 81 200 and the
wax for $50. During the extracting sea-
son Mr.. Adams, assisted by his wife,
spent two hours each day at the work
This has been a good year. but Mr. Adams
has done as well and better in other years
The principal flowers from which the bees
obtain their honey are the blossoms of
saw palmetto, gaul berry and mangrove
Mr. Adams states that his hives are by
no means exhausted, as the bees have re-
filled the combs from the blossoms of sun
flowers and from the berries of the saw
palmetto. Mr. Adams is a contractor and
builder, with his hands full of work all
the time, but as he is getting along in
years he intends to give up building and
settle down to bees and fruit raising per-
manently. Referring to the above figures,
Mr. Adams says that such are the facts
and he has the money to show for it. The
honey crop this last season on the Indian
river Appropriated over 200 tons.
