Among the plants which are important to the beekeeper are mesquite, horse- mint, catclaw, huisache and guajilla. Most of the honey pro- duced in this region is ex- tracted, although a large number of beekeepers pro- duce bulk comb- honey (chunk honey), cut from large combs (with- out sections) and placed in cans in which extracted-honey has been poured to fill the spaces. Such honey is usually sold locally. Beekeeping in this region is largely in the hands of professional beekeepers. (5) The sage region is confined to the canons of southern California and should be considered a restricted region except for the fact that sage honey wields so important an influence on the honey market that the region may justly be placed among those of major importance. The various sages are all heavy yielders under favorable conditions and there is usually no other honey source of importance where this honey is produced. The influence of rainfall on the honey crop of this region is discussed in the chapter on honey.
