Some ten years ago with his bee
business vel established in this sec

other fields and in Suwanee and Co
! lumbia counties he started up bee
| keeping where he now operates a
large business Of this kind, and has a
number of hands employed caring for
the bees. While establishing the bus
| mess there he also spent the winter
! in the more congenial climate of Flor
ida. Six years ago he started up a
similar business in the great Okeefee-
mckee swamp in the lower edge of
our state and there he now has a
chain OF apiaries along the Suwanee
river and its tributaries over rs miles
long, where several car loads Of hon
ey are made yearly.
His business has branches, or CEN
ter points, which consist of over sew
enty apiaries or bee yards, with 5000
colonies of bees.
His next competitor is an apiarist
out in California who has 1900 colo
nies of bees. An organized firm or
company in South America has 1000
colonies CT bees which is next to the
largest bee business.
Beginning with his first colony of
hive of bees he has been a close stu
dent of little hone yproducer and
gives it more consideration than any
one else
In 1908 he published book on the
culture of the bee, Southern Bee
Culture and thousands OF copies
have been sold all over the world, and
is considered by all to be the most
practical and condensed treatise of
the culture of bees ever written. He
is promoter and contributor to all the
bee papers printed and would be too
glad to engage his entire time for
getting up material for them along
all lines Of bee keeping.
He is prominently recognized by
the govern nent and experts at bee
keeping at Washington. D. c., are Of
