AMERICAN HONEY PLANTS 



ic abundant the beekeeper may find it to his advantage to produce ex- 

 tracted honey. Even this does not solve the problem entirely, since the 

 gum vireed honey candies in the combs so readily as to make it difficult to 

 extract. There are fev^^ reports of large surplus from this source. In

 miake it rather a nuisance than otherwise. The tendency to candy in the 

 combs makes it undesirable for winter stores.
