The Future of Beekeeping in Florida By J. J. Wilder FLORIDA, as a whole, has no great future for beekeeping. No one can drop down in the Slate at any old place with a solid car of bees and expect to succeed, much less to locate and start in and build up. This has been tried, to the sorrow of many. By far the larger part of Florida will not sup- port bees. Of course, there are bees kept most all over the State, but not at a real profit, all told. As many colonies die as are made, and as much money lost in bees as is made, if not more. This not only applies to S who keep bees, but apiarist as well. The number of new ones to give it a trial is increased a little eaeli year as population im i which keeps some life in the indus try and tint- m. 1 here are many reasons for this great blank F lorida fi ir i tg, but I will name only a tew. hirst, the scarcil dition covers bah" of thi tlu most part tin n pine come nearer - and where the has been thinlj they have planti f total fail- ure, when lie may have to do some other work to help pay his bills for Feed for his bees. Failure here is due to weather conditions, same as in any other section. In a very few counties in the high sand ridge section of cut-over pine land along northern central portions of the State the partridge pea grows extensively enough to give a yield, with conditions entirely different from those of other parts of the State. The flow comes in mid- summer and only a drought will check it.
