THE HONEY BEE IN AMERICA.
The Busy Little Worker Not a Ma
tive of This Continent.

Charles E. Coe, in Scientific American
No one seems TO have taken the time
and trouble to thoroughly investigate the
early history of the honey bee in America.
Enough is known, however, to assure us
that it is not indigenous to the country,
but was. in all probability, imported by
the early colonists.
The earliest mention of honey in Amer
lea so far as considerable research dis
closes to the writer, is in Irving's ac-
count of De Soto's wanderings. While the
adventurer was at the village of Ichlaha,
in June 1910, his men found a quantity
of bears grease preserved in pots like
wise oil made from the walnut, and a pot
of honey. The latter they had not before
seen, nor did they ever again meet with
1t during the wanderings."
Some have inferred from this that the
honey bee was in Florida at this period,
and that ii was indigenous to America
But this does not follow first, because
the village in which the honey was found
was located in the country since known
as Northern Georgia, or, perhaps, North
ern Alabama. and not in Florida; Sec
ond. the honey mentioned was very pos
sibly the product of the humble bee, which
was a native and very widely scattered
Nevertheless, the honey bee was prob
ably introduced by the Spanish settlers
in Florida at least at a later period, for
Bartram, who explored the country in
1773, mentions honey and beeswax as
articles of barter among the Indians. He
speaks Of honey in so many places in his
book that 1t must have been quite com
mon, and, therefore, could not have been
the product of the humble bee. whose
store of honey is very scant. Bartram
was told by a physician that there were
few or no bees west of the peninsular of
Florida, and but one hive in Mobile, which
latter had been brought from Europe.
Traders had also informed him that there
was none in West Florida.
At this period the honey bee was COM
mon all along the eastern shore of the
country. from Nova Scotia southwark
The fact that 1t was not found in the in
terror is good evidence that the insect
was not a native of America. Otherwise
natural swarming would have distributed
it throughout the land long before the ar
rival of the white man.

plored Wisconsin and the adjacent terri

An Impossible Remedy.
Booker Washington, one OF the ablest Of
his blood writes that the cure for these
desoiating conditions is education. This
is a patent medicine not the prescription
of a physician. Fred Douglass, who was
great because he had a white father ratn-
er than because he had a black mother, be-
lieved the races would ultimately blend
and coalesce and that thus the conflict
would disappear.
This impossible remedy would be worse
than the disease. for the strong race inn
parts to the weak only its defects and its
vices
So far as education goes, Mr.. Washing
ton knows better than any one else that
no colored man in the South can be edu-
Gated enough or made rich enough or re-
spectacle enough TO be received by any
white man except on the kitchen porch
or in the barnyard.
Education nteusifes instead of mitisat-
ing the difficulties and dangers of the sit
uation. BY education the negro Is lifted
from his own environment into compeu-
ton with the white race, and in the rivalry
ne must inevitably go down. BY educa-
ton he becomes more bitterly conscious of
the injustice of which he is the innocent
victim He viii eventually insist upon the
restoration of the political and civil rights
of which he has been deprived. He Will
resent the insolence of caste and demand
reputation for the infamies of destiny.
our black Samson is in the hands of the
Philistines, but some day the cords upon
his arms will be as flax that Is burned with
fire, and with the jawbone of an ass, heaps
upon heaps. he may Say thousand men.
