BEEKEEPING IN THE SOUTH 



39 



Then there are other locations where there are one or more 

 short, sharp flows and one or more longer, slower flows of nectar, 

 during the several months of the season. In some of these, comb 

 honey is produced during the heavy flows, and extracted honey 

 during the lighter flows. The partridge pea region of south 

 Georgia and north Florida is one of these locations. Together 

 with gallberry, tupelo, and some other nectar sources, the bee- 

 keeper is enabled to run for both comb and extracted honey. 

 This practice has pro\ed quite sensible when the usual price of 

 comb honey is considered. 



A Changing Prospect. 



There are so many difterent kinds of soils, honey plants, cli- 

 mates, and peculiar conditions found in the South as a whole.
