At Jerusalem, they are famous in their
line of industry.
In 1888 they carried out the novel
idea of transporting their bees frcm
one locality to another to give them
, fresh pasturage among the blossoms.
The first experiment was TO transport
the hives 10 Iafa, distance of twelve
miles, to give the bees .be benefit of
the orange blossoms there. Women
carried the hives on their heads all
the way, each woman carrying a hive.
During April the bees gathered for
these thrifty Jews rich harvest of
orange blossom honey. Theu the
hives were moved TO two other places,
who're crops OF honey from cactus and
acacia blossoms wero also obtained.
Tho Baldenspergcr boys, pleased with
their success, started apiarios in other
localities aud began 20 gather great
deal of honey from other blossoms
also, such a. lemon and Wild THYME.
Iheir bees were very industrious aud
fifty OF their hives at Yufa have some
times yielded 5000 pounds of honey
