It is warm in Brownsville just now.
but The Herald has no apologies to
make for that fact. 1t takes just
such warm caresses from old Sol to
produce that extra sweetness in the
sugar-cane, and to put the right sea-
son into the ground for growing the
abundant crops of truck and other
products of this wonderfully fertile
valley.

Speaking of bees in the lower Rio
Grande Valley, Uncle Josiah Turner,
the Sage of the Rancho Galveston,
he ether day remarked that the older
Mexican people here regarded the do
nestle bee as having been the fore
runner of the army of General Tay-
Ior in 1876.
Mr.. Turner came to Brownsville
with General Taylor, and afterwards
located here, and he is probably the
best posted man on matters relative
to the early history of this section
now living He learned soon after
locating here that the domestic bee
had never been seen in Brownsville
or in Matamoros until shortly before
the coming of General Taylor and his
army in May, 1916.
According to the early settlers in
this section at that time, Mr.. Turner
says, the first swarm of bees ever
seen in Matamoros came there just
few days before the arrival of the
American troops, and the people there
always afterwards spoke of the Incl
dent as being connected with the COM
ing of the conquering army of the
North, and considered the little in
sects almost in the light of harbingers
of the invasion of Mexico, and capture
Matamoros by Taylor.
The bees were hived and have re-
manned here ever since, increasing in
numbers, until many ranch houses in
this section were provided with
home honey supply. which has been
an unfailing one ever since.
Mr.. Turner's own personal expert
ence with bees was rather noteworthy
as he got his first start in that line
by a stray swarm of bees, coming
from some unknown source. This
was in 1852. at the time, Mr.. Tur-
ner and a number of hands were at
work roofing his house, which he
had built at the Galveston ranch.
some tweny-eight miles above
Brownsville on the river As he was
on the roof of the house, he saw
large swarm of bees flying towards
the house. He Immediately descend
ed, with all hands, secured tin pans
and cfial~c ond r,roooadod ~ x,ao+;rr
on the pans to induce the bees to set
tie ON a tree near his house They
were then taken and placed in an i'm
provised hive, where, bee fashion,
they Immediately made themselves at
home and began working for their
new found owner
From this start, within seven or
eight years, Mr.. Turner had an apiary
of hundred hives, which furnished
a very large amount of honey and
wax, which he disposed of on the
local market at a good price.
The end of Mr.. Turner's apiary was
tragic. 1t formed part of the stirring
history of this region when it was
terrorized by General Cortinas, who |
took possession of the town of |
Brownsville in 1860, and whose bands
of marauders burned ranch houses
and committed other depredations |
in this section. Mr.. Turner was one |
of the Cortina victims, his ranch |
houses being burned. and with them
the bee hives were entirely destroyed.
