where 1t is elected into the comb. They also
construct the cells of the comb from
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 a much-debated question among stu
dents eff bees the various estimates ranging
all the way from two to twenty pounds.
1t is conservatively estimated that over 800,
600 tons of honey are 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
cumference of the earth at the equator.
According TO Latreille, the European species
of bees predominant in America; but 1t is evil
dent that the stngless 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, 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
ported from England in order to meet the re
ouirements 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 was 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 an 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
$500 600 pounds of honey and about 100000
mounds of beeswax, about 50 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 900 bee keepers or one
In every 1870 of the entire population, are en-
gagged In the industry throughout the United
States
The passage of various purefood laws and
the establishment Of a rigid inspection by
many of the importing countries have made
the marketing of adulterated honey almost an

and metallic vessels Theoretically sealed, and
in an excellent state of preservation, among

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.

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 most consistent grade
produced in the United States.
What is known the Holy Land bee was
first brought to the United States from Pales-
tine by a Mr.. Howard in 1884, since which
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 honey,
the Turkish government became deeply inter
ested in the industry and imposed an exorbi'
tant tax upon the apiares.
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 to
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 manufactur
ers who secure about 60 per cent. of all the
product that is exported from the American re-
publics. 1t 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 UniteSAStates. Germany and Eng
land honey is extensively employed, both on
account of its usefulness a base in sweet
ening and its remarkable immunity from or
ganic change This answers the question which
has been matter of great speculation by those
unacquanted 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 irc-h, 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 cleverness."
Not many industries offer as many attrac
lions as agriculture. 1t may be taken up by
