N. C. RANKS FOURTH IN
bEE KEEPING IN U. S.
(Continued from page 1.
increase can be secured.
Mr. Sams strongly advises begin
ners to purchase their foundation
stock of bees in their own locality in
order to avoid bringing into the state
"foulbrood," a dangerous disease
which is prevalent in some sections.
If the original stock is the ordinary
black bees pure bred Italian queens
should be purchased in order to im
prove the stock. The Italian bees
are gentler, more productive and
hardier than the ordinary black bees.
When one considers the fact that a
queen lays from 2,000, to 3,000 eggs a
day and a total of 80 to 100,000. or
more during a season, he will readily
see that the matter of "breeding up"
stock is simple and easy.
There are a large number of men
and women in North Carolina who
make beekeeping their sole occupa
tion. Mr. Elton Warner of Ashe
ville, president of the North Carolina
Beekeepers' Association, is one of the
largest beekeepers in America. Dur
ing one recent year he sold more
than $36,000 worth of honey. He
has colonies located both in the moun
tains and in the coastal plains. In
addition he has approximately 1,000
colonies in Porto Rica.
,Dr. E. E. Kirkham, formerly
health officer of Martin county, last
year averaged 136 pounds surplus
for 100 colonies for his spring flow.
After the spring honey flow was over,
Dr. Kirkham moved 40 colonies to the
soy bean section .near Terra Cei, 20
miles-distant from his home. These
40 colonies produced an average sur
plus of 117 pounds during the soy
bean blooming season, making an av
erage for the entire year of 262 lbs.
each for these colonies. Figured at
25c per pound, these colonies pro
duced more than $80,00 worth of
honey each, during the season.
One of the best known beekeepers
in North Carolina is W. J. -Martin,
who was for yean Raleigh correspon
dent for a number of papers in the
state. ? Martin risked an interview
with Apiculturist Sams on one occa
sion several yean ago and shortly
thereafter began his bee career with
one colony. Later he paid 76c for a
stray swarm from which during that
season he produced (14.00 worth of
honey. When Martin left aleigh and
went to Wilmington to devote his en
tire time to apiculture, he purchased
132 hives from an eastern beekeeper,
transferred them to modern hives and
was on his way. He produced more
than $2,000 worth of honey the first
year, this amount more than covering
his entire investment in bees, equip
ment and supplies. Martin has 300
hives at present and his income from
honey this year will be several
thousand dollars. He is so infat
uated with the game that he recently
declared that he would not trade his
bee business for a newspaper.
One North Carolina woman, a
widow, raised and educated her fam
ily from her income produced solely
by beekeeping.
Mrs. Chas. Robinson of Martin
county teaches school during the
school term but her income from 36
colonies of bees last year was more
than-her salary for the school term.
Mrs. J. M. Edmondson is the* wife
of an automobile mechanic at Ever
etts. She has 115 colonies of bees
and makes more money than her hus
band does.
C. D. Duvall, a former resident of
Idaho, is now a beekeeper in Martin
county, having one-half interest in
600 colonies. He and his partner
have 260 colonies in one apiary at
Williamston which averaged last year
over 36%pounds of comb honey. The |
yield of comb honey is nothing like as
great as the yield where the honey is
extracted and the foundation replaced
in the making of the wax is a tedious
process for the bees and much time is
lost which is devoted to the produc
tion of honey where wax foundations
are supplied.
Mr. R. D. Carr of Magnolia declares
that during the past 36 years there
have been only three years when
there has been anything like a failure
of the honey yield. He figures three
good years and two medium years in
each five. He declares that more
profit can be secured from 800 colo
nies of bees than from 160 acres of
cultivated land.
A number of beekeepers in North
Carolina have gone into the business
of breeding bees and queens for mar
ket and they are doing a thriving busi
ness They are not only supplying
foundation stock and pure bred
queens to beekeepers in North Caro
lina but are doing considerable busi
ness in pound packages of bees with
beekeepers in the nOrth. Many bee
keepers in the north who have colo
nies that have wintered poorly or ate
naturally weak strengthen them early
in the spring with a pound or two of
bees purchased elsewhere. These bees
enable the colony to build up very
rapidly for the honey season. These
breeders of bees and queens do not
attempt to produce an surplus honey
1' 1 ^ ? IWJ -1
directing ell of the energy end efforts
of their colonies te the prodaction of
k*m And aueens.
The North Ceroiine Beekeepers'
Associetion, with s membership st
present of more then 140 apicultur
ists, is doing much to promote the bee
industry in the stste and its efforts,
together with those of Mr. gams and a
number of county farm demonstra
tion agents who have become interest
ed in bees, are responsible for a very
rapid development which is taking
place in the industry at the present
time. In all probability, it will be
very few years before the honey pro
duction in North Carolina reaches
50,000,000 pounds a year?and the
industry will be developed to the ex
tent of not more than 60 per cent of
its theoreticsl possibilities then.
