THE CUBA REVIEW 



A "Swarm" of IJees on a Bunch of Bananas 



rominercial honey tlow in Cuba is derived from only a very few plants or trees 

 l>l<ioniiny within certain limited periods, each one different in date from the other, 

 it is possible to obtain honey from each of these sources and permit grading of the 

 product so as to obtain honey of a certain density, known flavor and distinct color; 

 moreover, as we have already indicated, the combs are not destroyed but replaced 

 in the supers immediately after extracting, thus leaving the bees with storage deposits 

 sufficiently large to contain the product of the next series of nectar yielding blossoms, 

 even if this should begin immediately after the flow whose product is being taken.
