Honey-Making Virnrflalirurnia---h Profit- able Industry, Varions Mcthods of Work Get Coln Oat of the Honey- How to Comb, Correspondence of the 8un Franclsco Chronicle. Prior to the American ocoupation of California no bees were found on the Pa. cific const, and it was only after great trouble and much expense that a small stock, consisting of but four “‘swarms,’ was brought here by way of Panama some twenty-five years ago. So highly valued were they that 850 to $100 per swarm was no uncommon prico in those early days. Now the incroase has been so great and tho supply has become o plentiful that from 81 to 83 per hive or swarm is the average price, varying according to season and condition. There aro two distinct varieties of bees kept in this country—the cammon black bee and the Italian—while there are also hybrids of the two of different degrees of purity. Experimonts have also been made with one or two other varietios, but for all practical purposes they are included in the two above classes. REQUISITE FOR A RANCH The section of California most favor- ble to succefsful bee culture comprises the counties of Los Angeles, San Bernar- dino, San Diego, San Buenaventura, and Sa ta Barbara, being the entire southern portion of the State. Scattored here and there, often in the most out-of-the-way but lovely and piutnromluo nooks of the mountain canyons, may be found numer- ous bee ranches, as California apiaries are called. As an inappeiciable extent of level land is required for this most inter- eating pursuit and locality affording suf- ficiens space for his own’ residence and those of the bees, with running water in clove proximity, will afford the beekeeper all the nocessary requisites fora bee ranch. Of course, if one wishes to en- gage in fruit raising or farming to any ex- tont, he may do 8o, as the proper care of the bees will by no means prevent him from carrying on considerable other busi- ness, Indeed, it is well to choose a lo- cation where some other pursuit may be combined with the apiary. Let ussup- pose & man, who, from failing health or otherwise, wishes to engage in some light, out-door occupation not requiring ardu ous manual labor; especially for a con- sumptively inclined person, no more pleasant and remunerative occupation can be found. FOOD OF THE HONEY-MAKERS, As ho must ordinarily be entirely de- pendent upon thehoney-producingflowers indigenous to the country, the location must bo made with respect to the abun- dance in which the wild blossoms are to be found. The main dependence in Southern California is put upon the wild sago (of which there aro two varieties, the white and the black or button sage), and upon the chemisal brush or *greasowood.” The white sago grows in clumps, covering vast strotches of mountain and plain,and each spring sends out long and slender shoots, which are covered %or their entiro length with clusters of & most beautiful and delicate little flower, which yield the finest white honey ef a most exquisite flavor. These shoots frequently grow to such a height as to overtop a mounted horseman and when in bloom present a most beautiful appearance. The ball sage is of a very low growth and does not roduce as fine an article of honey as does its sister, The chemisal is an evergreen brush found thickly scattered throughout Califor: and during the -prlnfi:nd early s er sends out large cone-shaped masses of tiny white blossoms, which are rich with honey and fill the air for a long distance with their perfume. When a thicket of this brush is in full bloom it presonts a bgautiful snowy appearance, the clusters of blossoms being so plenti- ful as to entirely hide the geop green foliage from view. Not alone for its honey-producing qualities, however, is this “‘greasewood” valuable. In many localities its gnarled stemsand large roots are the only fuel to be had, and for this purpose it 1s highly prized. 8o resinous 18 it that it burns almost equally woll when green as when seasoned, and withal it burns with such a steady and equable blaze and is converted into ashes at so slow a rate as to be much sought after by housewives. One peculiarity of this brush is that each clump, no matter of how mm! stems it may consist, termi- supports some six or ten inches above the ground and with their openings in opposite directions, as itis much better to always work at the back of the hives than at the front, the bees being thereby much less disturbed. Close at hand should be the ‘‘honey house,” which may bo as large an tho apiarist's tastes require, but must be so arranged as_to have but one window and to bo readily darkened at pleasure, There being two ways of working bees for their honey, the keeper must decide beforehand which course he will follow. The common method in California is by extracting. The process is as follows: The hives are made in two stories and the upper stor; is filled with large frames of thin wood, ench of which contains a comb of say a foot one way by eighteen or twenty inches the other, varying accord- ing to the style of hive used. These frames are examined from time to time and when filled with honey are care- fully lifted out and carried to the honey- house. Here is a machine called an ex- tractor,morely a large sheet-iron or wood en tank with an open four-sided wire Voage" in (ko iddls, éupporied on &Y upright shaft and with crank gear at the top, so that the cage may be rapidly ro- volved at will, The frame full of honey is taken and the caps over the cells re- moved at a stroke with a poouliar shaped- broad and thin-bladed knife, made ex- prossly for that purpose. Four framesare thusuncapped andimmediately put intheir places, one on the inside of each side of the cage. The crank is then turned rap- idly a fow times, when the liquid honey is all forced out by the revolving motion and the corubs are left entirely empty. These empty combs are at once returned to the hives wnd the bees fill them again in an almost weredibly short time. The main advantage claimed for this system 18 the great additional yield of hondy se- cured above the comb-honey system or, where comb and honey are removed to- gother, It is wichin the writer’s personal knowledge that one hive of bees has pro- duced 600 pounds of extracted honey in one season on a bee ranch in the neigh- borhood of this town, though of course that yield was extraordinary. THE SECTION-BOX SYSTEM, The other way of working boes is by the section-box systom. Small sections of thin wood or ruwhmrd are put in the upper stories of the hives, and, when Ii{led‘ are removed and sold as they come from the bees. The price secured for this section-box honey is always considerably higher than that for the extracted article, but a hive of bees will not produce nearly so much. This is owing to the fact that a long time is required in which to build up a comb preparatory to filling it the liquid honey and so much time is lost, whereas when the combs are all ready at hand a much larger amount of honey will be stored, However, it is within the writer's own experience that a single hive of boes made over 400 pounds of comb honey in one season, This, of course, is an exceptional case. PREPARATIONS FOR BWARMING, Having decided on the plan to be car- ried out, during the winter months, every preparation must be made for the coming season, A number of hives must be made corresponding at least to the number of stands of bees whioh are procured, All the neceseary frames, sections and pack- ages for shipment should be in readiness, 80 that there may bo no delay in the height of tho season. About the 1st of April the swarming season may bo looked for. The process of artificially dividing the swarms has been resorted to by many but some of the most successful bee men have found the best results to follow from letting the bees pursue their natural course of swarming when they are ready. Now comes & busy time. Perhaps three or four swarms will come out at once, and there must be quick work to prevent any of them from escaping. Generally a swarm will settle on n?ow bush or tree and be comparatively easy to secure. They form in huge, cone-shaped masses, the point of the cone down- ward, The easiest way is to sprin- kle clear water on them whiie they aro settling and give them a smart shower afterwards, Then put a hive as close to them as possible and with a leafy limb or ordinary whisk brush sweep them all into the hive, the water on their wings preventing them from attempting to fly. n the hive should be put a frame or two of comb, or better still the frames should all be filled with ‘‘comb foundation,” a thin sheet of wax which is stamped by machine with indentations of the shape of the cells and which the bees at once go to work upon. A comb of brood is some- times taken from a hive and put into the new one and this acts as an additional in- nates under the surface in an enormous hole, and these are prized by all experi- enced ‘‘greasewocd grubbers,” which is the euphonious designation of those who engage in the labor of producingthis fuel. For an open fire these large masses of root. surpass most of the coal used on this oonst, There are a number of other flowering plants and shrubs from which honey is produced,as the wild buckwheat, sunflower,and numerous cultivated plants but the varieties montioned above are the mainstay of the beckecper, and in fact the white sage is the principal one, and when, as sometimes happens, that plant fails to produce its us floral wealth, then all hope of a good bee season is given up. HINTS TO THE BEGINNER. Having then chosen a snitable location with reference to the prospoctive supply of forage for his stock of bees, and a good location is not very hard to find, the first care is of course a house to live in. This may be constructed at a cost varying from about 8200 to as much as-means and in- clination allow one to go. ¥or between £500 and 600 & very good and comforta- ble house may bo built, in every way suitable and convenient, The next thing is a stock of bees, Hero a wiae range for choice is offered and only one ex- perienced in the peculiarities of the busi- ness as found in California is competent to advise u&).on this point. The middle of winter is nerhaps the best season to purchase, for many reasons; There being two varieties to choose from, ‘as_already mentioned, the advantages of eéach should be thoroughly inquired into before mak- ing & choice. The merits and demerits of the various styles of hives—and they are legion—ghould be studied, as well as the various modes of ‘*‘working” the bees. Too much care cannot well be ex- ercised upon these various points to at- tain success iu the new pursuit. As the experionce of the winter has been mostly confined to the black variety, the facts wiven may be taken as applying to them exclusively. i METHODS OF WORK, | The beginner should then commence tions with at least fifty stands, or say lil‘{. Before removing the bees to their future home & shelter for them should be built. One of brush, support- ed on strong posts high enough to walk under with comfort, is sufficient and will oost but the labor, 1t should bo made so wide that two rows of hives may be pvt under it and leave room h between them to pass to and fro. 0 hives should be set on timbers or ducement to the bees to remain in their quarters. If the season is at all a propi. tious one it is safe to calculate that each stand of bees will give out at least one BWArTN-—TOre is iniuriuun and weakening —s0 that the middle of May will find the stock of bees doubled at least. THE HONEY HARVEST, By the st of May the hunoy harvest begins in earnest and keeps up with lit- tle cessation until the last of August, although in an unusually favorable lo- cality “honey may at times be safely re- moved as late es Uctober. Care must be taken at the close of the season to leave sutliciont honey i the hives to keep the bees from starving during the winter. Ono of the best features of the keeping of beos on this coast is the fact that no protection whatever is required during the winter months, and there is not a sunshiny day during the entire season when the bees may not be seen busily at work, as there are always more or less honey-producing flowers in bloom the year round. Despite this it is al well to leave a good supply in the hives in case of an emergeney. One man can attend to 100 to 160 hives with success, with some little help from members of his family—provided, of course, that he has one, 8o fine in quality is the honey made from the white sage that many bee keepers never use any sugar whatever in their house- hold economy, but honay is put to all the usesfor which sugar is com- monly required. For swuetening coffoe, tea, preserves, and all cooking purposes it is an absoluto fact that this honey can. not be distinguished from the best grades of white sugar, while certainly no purer or more healthful sweet can” be found, Later in the season the sunflower comes into bloom and considerable honey of a delicate straw color is made from it, which has a decidedbut by no means un- leasant flavor of its own. Large quan- itios of both extracted and comb honey are put up in small tin cans, and in that shape find ready sale with miners and others forced to carry provisions on long tri) By far the greater portion of the extracted honey, however, is shipped in barrels and large cans directly to Kuro- pean ports, where it seems to have earned a reputation for excellence far in excess of that which it has attained here, HNBMIES OF THE BEE, The Ln‘ntut. enemy of the bee is found in the moth Unless the hives are well made and free from cracks these moths will effect an entrance and lay their eggs in all parts of the hive, In a Ah R AU ASAR A4 AV T AYIADAYAN LV AOUD short time, unless great care is used and the moths exterminated, a hive will bo- come entirely infestod with them and the bees will either all bo killed or will leave in disgust. The weaker swarms will be the first to succumb and during the winter months constant care is required to pre. vent tho ravages of the moths, Another enemy is also found in the grizzly bears, with whick the wilder sections of this coast are still infested. A friend of the writer, living in a somewhat isolated loca- tion, woke up one morning to find that his apiary had been invaded by bruin and several hives reduced to kindling-wood and their contents devoured The follow- ing night a large pan of honey, well seasoned with strychnine, was put in convenient proximity to the gap in the fence through which the raid had been made. Next morning the astonished rancher opened his door and, in his own language, “‘thought his whole dooryard was full of beara,” for no less than three of the largest-sized grizzlies lay stretched out as they had fallen, victims of mis- placed confidence. WILD BEE TREES AND CAVES, Despite the care taken, many swarms of beos have at times escaped from their owners and betaken themselves to the mountains, where, in hollow trces and holes in the rocks, they have made their homes and established communities of their own. Consequently “‘beo trees’ are very numerous and a favorite and very rofitable pursnit with many, is a bee Kunting trip in the fall of the year, and they are never unrewarded, as it is no very difficult matter to find an abundance of *‘wild bees,” In the mountains north of this place is located a veritable ‘‘bee cave.,” In the side of a perpendicular cliff is an opening large enough for a man to enter upright, and which widens as 1t goes into the mountain. How farit ex- tenda back no one knows, as adue repect for the feelings of the pre-emptors of the cave operates as a damper upon curious explorers This cave has been in the pos- sessionof beesfor years,and great sheets of comb blackened by age,may be seen hang- ing frowa its sides and top,while literally millions of boes occupy the place. A con- stant stream of the insects passes in and out, and, strangc to say, they permitted the writer to ride on horsoback directly up to the mouth of the cave and inspect it to his satisfaction without commencing proceeding nst him for trespass. A sottler in the neighborhood has boarded up the cave entrance, leaving a large opening covered with a wire screen suf- ficiently wide meshed to allow of the bees passing in and out freely, and when the aatute rancher wishes sweetening he simply puts a wire mask over his face, arms himself wsth a ‘‘smudge” anda knife, and, proceeding quietly into the ave, cuts down as much honey as ho wishes and leaves in gocd order. Truly, a honey cave is good to have and is some- thing no well-regulated household should be without. PROFITS OF THE BUSINESS, As the profits of the business in South- ern California the following figures are given from actual experience. Commenc- ing on the st of April of a good season with sixty hives of bees in tolerably fair condition, on the 1st of November the account stood: One hundred and twenty hives of bees, or exactly, double the start; over $700 in coin as clear profit from sales of honey and wax; honey used profusely all the season for domestic Eurpmu and a large quantity (several undred })ounda) reserved, together with a fund of sood health and experience which could have been gained in no other way. The same season a not distant neighbor commenced the yoar with 140 stands of bees and secured a product of not not less than twenty-six tons of |8 extracted honey, which netted upwards of $7600. Similar instances might be multiphied. But lest the reader should imagine this to be royal road to wealth, it is not fair to suppress the drawbasks to the successful pursuit of bee cul- ture. In the first place, not more than every other year is a good one for bees, The most experienc- ed beekeepers have settled upon this as the almost invariable rule and make their caloulations accordingly. Hitherto the entire dependence of beekeepers has been placed npon the wild flowers for their source of honey supply. But some of the more experienced are agitating the sub- ject of planting flowers for the express purpose of securing an abundant supply of bee food every seagon and thus becom- ing in a measure independent of the natu- ral uup[;ly, That this can be donesuccess- fully, there is no question, as the plan is followed in many places in the East and in Europe. It will readily be secn, then, that de- spite the ample returus to be reasonably expected from the careful and painstak- ing culture of hees, it would be well to combine fruit raising or farming on a small scale with the apiary, and in this way no more pleasant, health-giving, and remunerative pursuit, upon a moderate capital, can bo found than bee raising in Southern California.

Girizzly bears are not yot ranked among an extinct race of animals, for they are frequently found in the Selkirk moun- tains and still forther Sonth. They are the genuine stock, too, weighing from 1000 to 2000 pounds, and haveng all the native ferocity of those formerly found in southern Orogon and California. There are soveral other varities of the bear family found-. the cinnamon, brown and black bear. Their tracks are frequently secn in the sand and mud on the banks of the rivers and crecks where they go to catch salmon, Tho Indians say that they have killed three grizzly bears this season —two very largo ones. We must not al- ways reckon on the size of the track. The black bear, the smallest of the family, makes sometimes the largest track. He is very loose-jointed, his paws spread out, and he leaves an immpression on the sand and mud very large for the size of his body. The nimblemess of his joints permits him to handle his legs, particu. larly his fore legs, with a great deal of dexterity, He can climb a tree faster than a man. Not 8o with a grizzly. He stands more erect on his legs. Ho is built more for strength than nimbleness, and therefore is not in the habit of climbing small trees. This fact has saved many men from being torn to Sieuc&, and isa onsolation to the pursued. Bear stories are less frequent in camp than formerly, but still we have, now and then, an adventure with these mountain monsters. One of our party, Capt. P., once went out prospecting for a quartz lode. With ' pick in hand he comenced climbing the meuntain, closely scanning every rock showing indications of uineral, At last he came to a large fallen cedar lying across his course. ~ Fastening his pick on top of the log, he hoisted him- self upso he could look over it. Just then a large grizzly raised himself up. They met face to face, each staring right into the other's eyes, with nothing but the cedar log between them. The cap- tain says the bear showed him his mctg. He thinks there was a full set and in ex- cellent condition. He does not know how long this pantomime lasted, but he remembers letting all hold go from that log and sliding down and making for a tree near by, which he went “upina jiffy.” Just as he was leaving the log, he says, ho saw a big paw reach over on his sido of it, and give a terrible scratch, He felt thankful that he was not there to et the scratch, and it was a ‘‘bare scratch” that he was not there. Up that tree the captain felt safe for the time be- ing, and could look down and seec Mr. Grizzly, who was standing on the opposite side, with his paws resting leinurefi); on the log, looking straight up that tree, evidently studying the situation for an offensive as well as defensive operation. Grizzly soon got down and went off a short distance, then turning around took another glanco at the man up the tree, then went into the brush, and was soen out of sight. After some delay the cap- tain ventured down from the free, and, finding a smooth, narrow gulch, #ehere he sat down, gave a wriggle or two, and soon found himself on the bank of the Colum- bia river going down at 2.15 speed. He came into camp alone and without his hat, -and related his adventure. The cap- tain thinks that grizzly went after rein- forcements. Novw, this interview between the cap- tain and the grizzly is the captain’s side of the story. The other side has not been heard from. As both sides of a story ought to be heard, the writer would suggest that it is quite reasonable to suppose that the cause of the grizzly’s leaving the field first was that he had be- come tired of the monetony and dis- gusted with the noncombativeness of his intruder, and that he went in search of more agreeable and exciting amusement, but as it stands the captain claims the victory, because he left the field last. It was a noticeablo fact that the captain preferred standing to sitting while par. taking of his camp meals for several days. The day of this adventure som® Indians passed and they were informed of it. Thoy pursued grizzly-with their dogs, and on the following day a large zz]y was killed in that vicimty. Not- rhatanding the evidence being conclu- sivo that the identical animal has been killed, the captain thinks that some of his kindred might still be living, and that he has no desire personally to dispute a grizzly's claim te a quartz ledge.
