BEES AND BEEKEEPING 

 T^HE number of hives of bees on farms in the 

 United States on January 1, 1920, according 

 to the fourteenth census, was 3,476,346, as com- 

 pared with 3,445,006 in 1910, showing an in- 

 crease of 31,340, or 0.9 per cent. In making 

 comparisons between these two years the change 

 in the date of enumeration, from April 1 5 in 

 1910 to January 1 in 1920, should be taken into 

 consideration. Especially in states where the win- 

 ters are severe, the number of hives of bees on 

 farms in April of any year is likely to be con- 

 siderably less than the number in January. In 

 such states the 1 920 figures may be somewhat 

 too high for a fair comparison with 1910. It is 

 probable, therefore, that a count of the hives of 

 bees In April, 1920, would have shown a decrease, 

 as compared with the number in 1910, rather 

 than even a slight Increase. 



The states reporting the largest number of 

 hives of bees on farms on January 1, 1920, were 

 Texas, with 235,111; Tennessee, with 191,898; 

 California, with 180,719; North Carolina, with 

 163,956; Illinois, with 162,630; Missouri, with 

 157,678; Kentucky, with 156,889; and Alabama, 

 with 153,766. These eight states are the only ones 

 which reported over 150,000 hives of bees in 

 1920. Tennessee showed the greatest absolute 

 increase, with 47,417 more hives of bees in 1920 

 than In 1910, and Oklahoma was second, with 

 27,330 more hives in 1920 than In 1910. 



The production of honey in 1919 was 55,261,- 

 552 pounds, as against 54,814,890 pounds in 

 1909, an increase of 0.8 per cent. The production 

 of honey is fairly uniformly distributed throughout 

 the United States. Six states reported more than 

 2,000,000 pounds of honey produced in 1919, ss 

 follows: California, 5,501,738 pounds; Texas, 

 5,026,095 pounds; New York, 3223,323 pounds; 

 Iowa, 2,840,025 pounds; Wisconsin, 2,676,683 

 pounds; and Colorado, 2,493,950 pounds. 



The amount of honey produced In 1919 by the 

 Northwestern states was as foUews : Washington, 

 1,596,206 pounds; Oregon, 929,555 poundsj Ida- 

 ho, 1,208,229 pounds; Montana, 630,608 pounds. 

 On January, 1920, Washington had 56,906 hives 

 of bees; Oregon, 45,264; Idaho, 35,000; Mon- 

 tana, 11,918.
