where 1t is elected into the comb. They also
construct the cells of the comb from a wax
secretion in the honey and feed all the other
bees. The food of the young bees is called
beebread and consists Of small pellets pre-
pared from the pollen Of flowers. Honey is
fed to the adult drone BEES
It is interesting to note that the amount of
honey involved in the secretion of pound of
wax is much-debated question among stu
dents of bees. the various estimates ranging
all the way from two to twenty pounds.
1t is conservatively estimated that over 3O0,-
0G0 tons of honey produced in the world
each year. Of which the American republics
yield about two-thirds. This quantity, put up
in standard combs of IA ounces EACH would, if
the combs were placed side by side endwise,
make a line $4,000 miles long, or twice the cir
conference of the earth at the equator.
According to Latrelle the European species
of bees predominant in America; but it Is evil
dent that the stingless variety of bee is ma
tive of South and Central America and Mexico,
where honey has been gathered by the natives
for many centuries. and that many of the other
varieties found were introduced from China.
Japan and Palestine, as well as from European
countries.
When the pilgrims landed at Plymouth in
1920 honey was not to be found in that part
of the country and bees were consequently i'm
quirements of the time, but the first system
attic keeping of bees in the United States was
probably established at Newbury, Mass.
In bulletin of the United States depart
ment of agriculture it is stated that the i'm
portance of the industry was Of municipal mo-
ment to the extent of holding out to one John
Eales, who then living in what is now
bingham, Mass. an inducement to come to
Newbury for the purpose of teaching the set
tiers how to make hives and to care for bees.
Since that time steady advances have been
made in the establishment of systematic bee
culture in the United States Bees have been
imported from all parts of the world and the
industry has reached such extent that the
annual average yield of honey now amounts to
about $40, 900, 900 and beeswax about 100000
The United States imports annually about
100000 pounds Of honey and about 100000
pounds of beeswax, about 95 per cent. of which
comes from Cuba, Mexico. Haiti, Salvador, Do
minican Republic and Venezuela; and all of
this regardless of the fact that according to
the census about 100000 bee keepers, or one
in every 100 of the entire population, are en-
gagged in the industry throughout the United
States
The passage of various pure-food laws and
the establishment of a rigid inspection by
many Of the importing countries have made
the marketing Of adulterated honey almost an

should be so stated when it is placed on the
market.
The sage honey from California Is pro-
nounced by experts an example OF the pur-
est best favored and rost consistent grace
produced in the United States
What is known the Holy Land pee was
first brought to the United States from Paies-
tine by Mr.. Howard, in 1884 since "hlch
time the species can be found in many parts
of America and is regarded by apiculturists
as one of the best honey producers. About
the time of the expectation of bees from Pal
estine, famous in ancient times for Its money,
the Turkish government became deeply inter-
ested in the industry and imposed an exorbl-
tant tax upon the apiaries
Honey is used in the far eastern countries in
the manufacture of hydromel popular and
most intoxicating beverage, having an agree
able flavor closely resembling cider. Alcohol
has also been distilled from honey. but not 20
any great extent.
Many of the large manufacturers of candy
in the United States complain that they have
great difficulty in purchasing sufficient honey
to meet their requirements owing to the recent
and enormous demand Of German manufacture
ers, who secure about so per cent. of all the
product that Is exported from the American re-
publics It is estimated that over half Of the
worlds production is employed in the manufac-
ture of candy and medicinal preparations and
new uses are being found for honey and bees
wax almost daily.
In the manufacture of biscuits and fancy
cakes in the United States, Germany and Eng.
land honey is extensively employed, both on
account of its usefulness base in sweet
ening and it's remarkable immunity from or
ganic change This answers the question which
has been a matter of great speculation by those
unacquainted with the inside secrets Of the
baking industry, as to how the numerous vari-
cites of sweet crackers and cakes kept on
hand" through long periods of time remained
apparently fresh. in the little village stores
scattered throughout the country districts.
The art of making fancy crackers that would
keep indefinitely" has for many years been
considered one Of the mysteries Of the baking
industry, attributed by the natives of Latin
America to Yankee ceverness."
Not many industries offer many attrac-
tons as agriculture. 1t may be taken up by
agricuturists as a specially or a side line.
A small capital only is required to start the
enterprise and returns measured and GER
tain if ordinary care is taken in the selection
Of the location of the apiaries and consistent
management of the bees maintained. Further
more, a good market is always afforded for the
product, which is neither perishabe nor sub
ject to marked depreciation in value.
Practically all of the wild honey is shipped

in an excellent state of preservation. among
the prehistoric ruins.
The finding of honey among the Aztec ruins
establishes the fact beyond all question that
bees were known in Mexico long before the
days of Cortez, although scientists have at
tempted to disprove repeatedly the theory that
bees of any species were native to America.
This valuable article of commerce may be
described as the sweet strip or nectar derived
from the bees and other insects which gather
it from trees, plants flowers. 1t is both
vegetable and animal in origin and contains
about 20 per cent of water, Is per cent of re-
ducing sugars, such as dextrose and levuose,
twenty-five one-hundredths per cent. of ash.
and the balance of other components. Honey
Is variable in color and quality the product Of
one district excelling that of another, and is
commercially classified as follows First,
combed. or that which is contained in the cells
of comb: second, extracted, or that which has
been separated from the uncrushed comb by
centrifugal force or gravity; third strained, or
that which has been removed from the crushed
comb by strainng other means. In color
the best grade runs from clear, almost color
less to pale yellow and the flavor depends
upon the nature Of the tree, plant or flower
from which it is gathered. With age honey
turns considerably darker in color. but both
honey and comb Will keep 1ndennltely without
suffering decomposition.
The honey bee is usually found in swarms
of from 5000 to $4,000, and is divided into
three distinct classes: The queen, female;
the drone or male and the worker or neuter.
Each hive contains but one queen, which
propagates the Species frequently laying eggs
at the rate of 1000 a day. Upon the death
of the queen a young neuter is selected from
the colony, its cell enlarged and the food
changed The neuter then becomes a queen
bee and is mated with the drones. who are
afterward destroyed by the workers
Although the average life of the queen COW
ers a period of three years of usefulness, it is
considered advisable to annually restocl1 each
colony with new queen. The systematic
rearing Of queen bees and the Improvement OF
the breed are considered the most important
branches of agriculture. 1t is also Important
in breeding queens that the so-called "hybrids"
or mismated queens should not be employed.
IN account of their inability to produce young
hoes of desirable and consistent character.
Selections have been made from the various
tvnes of bees ants an attempt made to combine
all the good qualities of each species, but as
vet IT is quite impossible to find the bee that

nroducer of honey and wax and the most pro-

nossesses certain distinctions of race and is
