INTRODUCTION 



HONEY. 



Of honey, there was produced in 1860 in the United States 23,366,357 pounds, but little over half 

 the amount of maple sugar. 



New York produces 2,369,751 pounds, and North Carolina 2,055,969 pounds. These two States 

 produce more honey than any of the others. Kentucky stands third, producing about 1,750,000 pounds. 

 Missouri and Tennessee rank next, producing over 1,500,000 each. Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio 

 each produce nearly 1,500,000 pounds. Illinois and Indiana each produce about 1,250,000 pounds. 

 No other States than these mentioned, produce one million pounds. 



The census of 1850 did not give the amount of honey separately from beeswax. The total amount 

 of honey and beeswax produced in the United States in 1850 was 14,853,790 pounds, and in 1860 

 24,689,144 pounds, showing an increase of over 60 per cent. The proportion of honey to beeswax is 

 about one pound of beeswax to seventeen and three-quarters pounds of honey.
