BEE KEEPING 1S: PROFITABLE WORK SAYS ANDERSON WS. Anderson was the first farmer in the Kit- sumkallum Valley to start into the bee industry and although only three years since he started he has now 70 hives with an average of 9/5 pounds of honey per year per hive. He has planned that as soon as conditions are favorable to make honey the real industry of his farm. Thus far he has given only his spare time to the bees. He will get con- siderably more land cleared so that he can produce a crop to feed the bees. He aims at 100 hives. He has no hesitation in saying that it can made a very successful line of farming, both élimate and vegetation being favorable. Up to the present time most of the honey has been - disposed of locally although - Mr. Anderson has shipped to - the United States and to various stations along the railway. He finds a market ready for all that he can produce: All who have given the bee industry due con- sideration see for it a prosperous future and it is worth the time of any in the Terrace district to get into the honey business. Propitious nature will do her part if man will only render assistance by clearing land ' and planting more orchards and crops, without which all the favorable inclination of the bee is futile. sence ©
