BEEKEEPING IX THE SOUTH 



11 



honey production methods in the South are bettered during the 

 coming five years as they have been in the past half decade, 

 under the stimulus of extension work and higher prices, northern 

 beekeepers are going to have a hard race to approximate the 

 efficiency of their southern beekeeping neighbors. 



Are You Willing to Pioneer? 



One of the questions which must be confronted by every 

 northerner who wishes to go south for beekeeping, is whether or 

 not he is willing to pioneer. If he is, there are many locations 

 which could accommodate settlement from outsiders. On the 

 other hand, living accommodations near well populated centers 

 in the South are fully as good as in the North. But the better 

 beekeeping opportunities lie in the bypaths of southern wooded 

 mountains and lowlands.
