THE HONEY BEE BUSINESS
XT HAS BECOME A GREAT INDUS
TRY Of THIS CJOUNTBY.
California the Heaviest Distributing
Point—Difference in Honey—Curi
ous Ways of Bees.
1 To learn all about honey, honey bees,
and the honey industry of the world has
been the life work of a Brooklyn man,
Mr. W. M. Hoge, who returned from
Paris not long after showing Parisians
what kind of honey America can pro
duce. To a reporter of the New York
Sun Mr. Hoge said:
"I have thoroughly canvassed every
large city in Europe and America in sell
ing honey, and it is true that more honey
is bought for table use in and near New
York city than in any other spot in the
world. There are in New York and
Brooklyn eight concerns which deal ex
clusively in honey and keep twenty-six
wagons carrying on business with the re
tail grocers. In this way about a ton of
honey a day is sold, or considerably over
312 tons a year. This, of course, does
not include the large quantity distributed
to outside towns by wholesale dealers.
However, while local consumption of
honey is greater in New York and vicin
ity than any whero else on earth, the
largest general distribution is from Cali
fornia. Wo shipped from Southern
California last year, mostly to Eastern
States, 900,000 pounds of extracted
honey, while 1,000,000 pounds were
sent out in 1888, 950,000 pounds in
1887, 2,000,000 pounds in 1886, and
1,270,000 pounds in 1885. To Europe
from San Francisco last yenr 1745 cases
of extracted honey were sent. In the
past seven years an average of 7500 cases
per year was sent by sailing vessels to
foreign ports, mostly to England. AVe
send honey to Australia, the Sandwich
Islands, British Columbia, and even to
India. This foreign demand was aroused
by the 100 tons of American honey
which I took to England in 1877.
"To most persons honey is honey, and
nothing else," continued Mr. Hoge,
"but there is a great diversity in the
flavor and color, caused by the different
plants from which it is gathered. It
varies as the flowers vary in the various
districts where the honey is gathered,
and, by a little practice, a blindfolded
man can distinguish the different flavors
in wines. Bee culture has so far pro
gressed of late that beekeepers,by a little
intelligent management, can keep the
various flavors of honey separate. To
those who persist in the habit of eating
honey and hot biscuits for supper, a
slow educational process has been of ad
vantage in learning the different flavors
of honey, and there has come to be a scale
of value in the market according to the
flavor. The favorite flavors arc white
clover, basswood, white sage, Spanish
needle, golden rod, eucalyptus and
orange blossom. The medicinal principle
of plants, furthermore, is contained in
the honey in greater purity than the
pharmacists have yet discovered- A tea
spoonful of honey gathered from smart
weed causes profuse perspiration. You
remember that Xenophon noticed that
soldiers of the Ten Thousand, on tlieir
march througa Colchis, who ate honey
gathered from the poppy flower, 'lost
their senses.' They fell asleep through
opium eating, that was all. Honey
gathered from blossoms of the fig tree is
a laxative, while honey from the hore
hound flower is,with many,a specific for
Doughs and sore throats. It has been
discovered also that bee stings made into
1 lotion are a specific for rheumatism,
gout and lumbago. I have made some
liniment myself by pulling out the bee
stings. The operation is naturally a de
licate one. I take up the bee—alive, of
course—with a pair of jeweler's
tweezers, and by squeezing it the bee
thrusts out the sting. This is
grasped with another pair of tweezers
and the sting and little poison sack
pulled out. I have made, as I believe,
several cures of rheumatism by the aid of
the lotion.
"It is a curious fact," continued Mr.
Hoge, "that a bee will return time after
time to the same flower, although its
hive may be a mile or more distant. How
did I discover it? By sitting down be
side a flower blossom, and when a bee
alighted sprinkling a little flour on him.
While sitting and watching for the bee
to return, another strange thing I ob
served. The nectar from which the bee
distils his honey gathers slowly on the
petals of the flower and forms a very tiny
drop at the bottom Of the cup. If a bee
happens to alight at that instant on the
blossom he sucks the nectar into his
honey sack and flies off to the hive with
it, but if the bee does not come just at
that minute then the drop of nectar is
evaporated by the sun and wind. Per
haps this happens a score of times in a
bee district before a bee visits a blossom.
Taking into consideration all the flowers
that bloom in this big country, and the
nectar that is evaporated only to perfume
the air, there is as much wealth lost every
summer from failure to gather the honey
as there is gold dug out of the mines in
California. I can remember the time
when in Southern California the natural
luxuriance of plants was not checked by
grazing of cattle, and from Washington
Territory to Lower California and fiom
the Sierras to the Pacific Ocean was one
vast bee garden. For, at that time, there
was not a bee hive in the State. Now it
is the chief honey producing State in the
Union.
' 'There were no honey bees in California
until C. A. Sheldon arrived in San Fran
cisco overland from New York city in
1853 with twelve swarms, of which but
one survived. He was followed in 1857
by J. 8. Harbison, who reached Sacra
mento City with sixty-two colonies.
Now we estimate the crop of honey in
California for 1889 at 2,000,000 pounds
of extracted honey and 200,000 pounds
of comb honey, and it was a poor year
for honey, too. More honey is wasted
now than there is gathered, for want of
bees to collect it."
"How long docs it taketfor bees to
gather a pound of,honey?"
"That depends (entirely on - the nature
ef the Maßon f " s relied Mr. Hoge, "but it
ia usually the fact that one bee with all
its industry will not,in it* i entire lifetime,
gather more than a teas poo nful of fhoney.
Reckoning eight, teas pooni'uls in an ounce
the sixteen ounces in a pound of hone;
would require the Jifeworlc of 128 bees."
"Does it pay to.keerp baes?"
"There are now about* 3D0,000/ bee
keepers in the United states-whose tranks
are rapidly being re-enfonced hymen and
women who go into beekeeping as a hob
by or for experiment, and who find, the
pursuit so fascinating that theyaoan
make it their solevoccupation. There is
no danger of the ' country being? over
stocked, for, on aniaverage,every fecre of
land will support a hive of bees. I know
a man, C. F. Greeiiyag, of / Grand
Meadow, Minn., who hod three
swarms that multiplied ' in one j year to
nineteen swarms,whilevDtr. C. Mj. Joslin,
of Saginaw, Mich., hadUwo swurms mul
tiply in one summer to l;hirty-four
swarms, nnd J. 8. Marble, of* Chanute,
Kan., increased one swaim.tonhirteonin
one season. The business oftenipays 100
percent., and.not infrequently »500 per
cent, proflt. Professor* C'ook.s of the
Michigan Agricultural College a); Lans
sing,says ho netted a profit* of-§ 24 a hive
in one summer. Mrs. Barker, *>f Lans
sing, estimatesvher proflt at- §l)9 a hive,
while J. M. Stevenson, of 'Crawford.
County, Pennsylvania, realized $35 a
hive. Mr. J. E. Pleasants,, of Los
Angeles County,\ California,. who had
forty-five swarms one suinmfer, tells mo
he saw them multiply to lOCVw warms and
got 10,000 pounds; of extracte d honey in
one year. A. A. Baldwin, of Sandusky,
N. Y. .reports 175 pounds of)comb honey
per hive."
"All the important improvements in
bee-keeping aro of oompai sitively recent
invention," continued Mr;. Hoge. "A
minister of theiGospel, tlio Rev. L. L.
Langstroth.ilias done the* honey-loving
world the greatest, benefit.' by inventing
movable comb hiv«es, by means of whicli
both bees an<l,conn'J} may be taken out of
the hive and replaced again, with or
without the bees. Then there is a little
machine called the 'honey slingcr,' or
'extractor,' which 'by centrifugal fonce
empties the honey from the comb with
out injury to the comb, so that it
returned to the hive,, and the little^al
moners of nature have nothing to do but
fill the cells again. Artificial founda
tions for honey comb, while not my in
vention, were first practically tested and
adopted through;my recommendation.
"Italian bees were first, brouglit to the
United States by v Park Superintendent
Samuel B. Parsons,4 then a horticulturist
and beekeeper in Flushing, in 1850.
There aro now several dealers who re
ceive regular invoices of Italian bees in
summer direct from Italy. Ant Italian
queen bee is sold from ;$4 to $lO,. The
best queens arc as yellow as gold from
head to tail. Italian bees haw longer
tongues than black bees, and arc enabled
to gather honey from flowers which can
not be fathomed by the black working
bees. Another thing, they are almost
proof against moth, the pest of honey
bees; and, furthermore, they are very
prolific. It v seems as if $lO is a high
price for one bee, but it is worth the
price."

The Dangerous "Sea-Poose."
A writer in Scribner , on "Surf and
Surf-Bathing," says: It may be well to
speak here of another phenomenon not
infrequently observed. Ido not recall
ever seeing the name by which it is
known in print, and as the word is ig
nored by Webster, I shall invent my own
spelling and write it "sea-poose." This
term is loosely used on different parts of
the coast, but the true significance of it
is briefly this: There will sometimes
come at every bathiug-ground, days when
the ocean seems to lose its head and to
act in a very capricious way. On such
occasions it often happens that the beach
is cut away at some oue point, presuma
bly where the sand happens to be softer
and less capable of resisting the action of
Hie water. There will then be found a
little bay indenting the shore, perhaps
ten feet, perhaps ten yards. The waves
rolling into such a cove are deflected
somewhat, and "set" together at its
head, so that two wings of a breaker, so
to speak, meet, and, running straight
out from the point of junction, form a
sort of double "under-tow," which will,
if the conditions that cause it continue,
cut out along its course a depression or
trench of varying depth and length. It
can be readily understood that such a
trench tends to strengthen the current
that causes it, and these two factors, act
ing and reacting upon each other, occa
sion what might be called an artificial
"under-tow" which is sometimes strong
enough to carry an unwary bather some
distance out, in a fashion that will cause
him either to be glad he is, or to wish
he were,within the rectangle of the life
lines.
I have sometimes heard old surfmen
speaft of what they call a "false poose,"
but I have never been able to find out
just what was meant by the expression,
much less its causes and character. I shall
therefore leave the question for those who
delight to delvo into the myeteriea of
local nomenclature-

The Joyous News Was Life to Him.
The Russian sculptor and Socialist,
Kamcnski, who, for sixteen years, has
found a refuge in the United States, at
tracts attention by the depth of a scar
over his right eyebrow. The scar is not
connected with some romantic talo of
Siberian horror. It is the result of a
kick of a Kansas mule. No little sur
prise was created at the time that it did
not cause instant death. It came, how
ever, very noar doing so. The sculptor
was taken up unconscious, and when his
reason returned he was told he was about
to die. In a semi-comatose state he made
his last will and awaited the end. Mean
while over the wires flnshed the hews of
the a3sassinatiou of Guar Alexander. A
friend who knew Kamenski's principles
vowed he should not die without hearing
the news, and, evading the doctor in at
tendance, she cautiously stole to his bed
side and whispered in his ear the fate of
the autocrat. The fnst-chilling blood
became warmed and pulsed gleefully
through the feeble heart, life was re
newed and Kamcnski recovered.— The

Nature's Hotel.
The most remarkable hotel Id the
world is in California, on the road be
tween Santa Cruz and San Jose. It is a
well-known fact that California possesses
the largest trees in the world, and a
shrewd hotel builder has conceived the
idea of using a group of these mammoth?)
thus saving himself the cost of building
or rent. The hollow trunk of one tree,
whose circumference is about twenty
two yards, is arranged as a reception
room, and the surrouuding garden,
sheltered by a thick roof of spreading
branches, serves as dining-room and
smoking-room. A number of other
smaller hollow trunks make comfortable
bed-rooms, furnished in the most ap
proved style, and some trees at a little
distance are occupied by the hotel staff.
