Buck Grove, Iowa. Southern Beekeeping BY I^ L. STAPLETON ON May 14th. Mr. J. J. Wilder of Cordele, Ga, who is familiar to the bee fraternity as one of the large producers of honey in the United States, notified me that he had been requested to make a trip down the Appalachicola River and meet with the beekeepers of the tupelo belt, for the purpose of organizing an associa- tion, and requested that I make the trip with him. Mr. Wilder came by and spent Sun- day night with me and on Monday morning, the 14th inst., we took the boat at Bainbridge for Wewahitchka, Fla., where we arrived Tuesday morn- ing about day break. At Bainbridge we were joined by Messrs. L. L. and A. E. Lanier of Wewahitchka, who had just sold their crop of honey to a Bain- bridge Company. The tupelo honey producers have had an unusually fine season, the flow being exceptionally good and prices satisfactory. On the wharf at Bainbridge we saw over 100 barrels of tupelo honey, and on the wharf at Wewahitchka 41 barrels. Quite a lot had been shipped and there is a good deal yet to go. Our information is that practically the entire crop had been sold. Mr. Wilder and I are under special obligation to the Messrs. Lanier, who took charge of us on Tuesday and showed us many courtesies. We met quite a number of prominent beekeepers at Wewahitchka, but space forbids the mentioning of all. Among others, we met Mr. S. S. Alderman, now over 80 years of age,who was one of the pioneer beekeepers of that section. Mr. Alder- man informed us that he began keeping bees on a commercial scale in 1870. On Tuesday morning Mr. J. K. Isbell took us through his apiary of about 300 colonies all in one yard. Mr. Isbell's apiary is one of the prettiest the writer has ever seen. He uses a nine frame hive taking a Hoffman frame,. Please
