BEES AT THE PANAMA-CALIFORNIA 

 INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION. 



Among the many unique features of the 

 Panama-California Exposition in San Diego 

 there is being planned an open air bee keep- 

 ing exhibit to be installed on the exposition 

 grounds, where there will be fully equipped 

 apiary with honey house, extractor and 

 tanks with everything necessary to illus- 

 trate just how bees are managed, and how 

 all of the operations attendant upon the 

 production and removal, packing and ship- 

 ping of honey are carried on. The exhibit 

 will also include a comb honey apiary and 

 a queen bee rearing apartment, containing 

 representatives of all of the varieties of 

 bees of commercial importance and the 

 methods employed in raising and introduc- 

 ing the improved strains of honey 

 gatherers. 



The idea of such an exhibit is the out- 

 come of recent meetings of the honey pro- 

 ducers of Southern California, notably of 

 San Diego County, where it was thought 

 that a more widely disseminated knowledge 

 of the advantages of California as a bee 

 raising country would prove of profit to 

 tho.se who are seeking fresh fields and pas- 

 tures new for legitimate enterprise requir- 

 ing limited capital, as well as of educa- 

 tional advantages to those already engaged 

 in the business. 



A novel feature of this exhibit will be 

 plants of all the cultivated honey plants 

 growing. The canyon will be utilized in 

 producing a natural mountain honey range 

 with all the native wild plants so famous 

 in California growing and in full bloom, 

 yielding their nectar to the energetic little 

 creatures whose business in life is to lay 

 up sweetness.
