Uadant Following the announcement on page 13 of the January number, I went to Wilmington, Niorth Carolina, for the State meeting of January 11.

W. King reported hav- ing seen bees carrying pollen on the 5th, probably from the soft maple or the alder. The Carolinas are geologically di- vided into three . quite distinct sec- tions—-the coastal plains, low and flat, with marshes and sandy lands; the piedmont regions or foothills; the mountain sections, covered mainly with timber. These differ slightly in vegetation, and consequently in the number and quality of the honey plants. But all are good for beekeep- ing.
