Honey and Wax, 1909. Although as noted elsewhere, 15,259 

 farms reported 156,360 colonies of bees on hand April 15, 1910, 

 4,8-63 of these farms, with 16,829 colonies on hand April 15, 1910 

 made no report of honey or wax produced in 1909. The actual 

 returns show the production of 3,191,733 pounds of honey, valued 

 at $376,608 and 43,198 pounds of wax, valued at $13,034; the 

 true totals are doubtless somewhat above these figures.
