THE CUBA REVIEW 



CUBAN HONEY AND BEESWAX 



Consiil-General James L. Rodgers, in 

 answer to inquiries, furnishes the infor- 

 mation concerning- the exportation of 

 hone}' and beeswax from Cuba. 



Although there are large amounts of 

 these products exported,, there has been 

 no practical exploitation of the business, 

 except on a few places owned by 

 Europeans.

According to the last available statistics, 

 the exports of honey for one year 

 amounted to 6,713,533 pounds, of which 

 a little less than 50 per cent went to Ger- 

 many, about 27) per cent to France, about 

 1') per cent to the United States and the 

 remainder to various European countries. 



The exports of wax, which was prin- 

 cipally produced from honey, during the 

 year amounted to 1,383,464 pounds, of 

 which Germany took a little less than 50 

 per cent, the United States about 25 per 

 cent, France about 20 per cent, the re- 

 mainder being distributed among various 

 European countries. 



The keeping of bees is of general prac- 

 tice in the country districts, and the hiving 

 and all other matters connected therewith 

 are of a most primitive character, the hive 

 being usually a section of a pahn trunk, 

 and no particular care is taken to pre- 

 serve the life of the hive during the tak- 

 ing of the honey. Such practice, it should 

 be understood, is not followed at the 

 modern apiaries, where there is as care- 

 ful treatment and as modern apparatus as 

 is found in anv country. 



All varieties of bees, especially the Ital- 

 ian, thrive exceedinglv well in Cuba, there 

 being an abundance of the plant life 

 needed for their maintenance.
