Georgia as a Honey Country In reply to the request for information con- cerning the eastern part of Georgia as a bee and honey country, I will say that bee-keep- ing is proHtable in the eastern part, and there are many locations where the business would be very paying. These localities would be found mostly in the south-eastern portion. We get our surplus honey mostly from the following sources: Gallberry, poplar, gums, holly, sumac, and golden-rod. With these plants in a location, bee-keeping is paying. I would be glad at any time to furnish more information concerning Georgia as a honey- producing State. J. J. Wilder. Dooky Co., Ga., April 24.
