Obsolete Methods Used
Although Louisiana probaN, !.
more bees in proportion to +, :.
than any other Southern S,s,. = :,
production Of honey is low becap,.

Introduce italian Bees
M Hawkins advises that Louisn,,
be- keepers introduce Italian bsss /,
10 their apialies to replace The O..
iaao q black bees which are 50 nsr
allen throughout the state. The NJ,
Of bees Kept in the state at the uas
enT TIME are most susceptible 10 lii
case and destruction by nuneru
pests, and are the least PRODUCTIVE
any known race OF bees. The i.r
dGctiOn af Italian blood will not ONLY
eliminate these troubles, but will ea
able the bee keeper to largely h
crease his porduction of honey
Produce Extracted Honey
Louisiana bee keepers should pr
duce extracted honey rather than SO
ton or chunk honey, as the pdas
ton Of the latter kinds necessizls
the destruction Of the honey comb
each time the honey Is removed ff1n
the hives. In the production Of q
tracted honey, the sweet 10 fenoVsf
from the combs by means Of hons
extractor which does not hjur IA
combs, and enables the bee keeper .
use them again and again. Since
may take as high as twenty pcuaa
of honey consumed BY the bes
make one pound Of bees VA =
value Of returning the combs ~
refilled BY the bees Is apparent
In addition, when extracted had
Is produced there Is less trosDs uaa
bees svarming and the bees 'sqaN
less attention. Extracted hooT q
be shipped more safely than CO.
honey, as the former can y ws
elass. tin, or wooden recepae's "
shinment. Under war conditions
trac.ed honey Is bringing p''sua
as much on the markets /" q"
honey.
