Ti T? 1 hinks ine raimoio Should Keep Bees County Agent J. E. Dodson hns for many years had as his hobby the interesting and profitable business of raising and keeping bees. He first became interested in the study as a small boy on his father's farm, and has for the past fourteen years kept bees on his farm in Brunswick county. He now has about fifty hives which he has turned over to his son. Jack, to look after. Last . year he produced over two tons of honey from these hives, in I spite of the. fact that it was a I bad season. The honey was mark- 1 eted out of the state. Mr. Dodson believes that the j raising and keeping of bees could I be conducted profitable on a large 1 scale in this section due to the i abundance of honey producing < plants and trees that grow here, 1j such as black gum, holly, gallberry, alder, maple and many 1 others as well as a large variety I of lowers.
