Bee Business Fails to Feel Depression

Washington, April , 13.-—The
bee business isn't, much affected
by the depression, the Department
of Agriculture reports.

Last year's honey crop was
worth about $10,000,000, and
bees-wax about $1,000,000. The
value of bees in the pollination of
fruit was said to be great, although
it is inestimable.

New methods of preparing and
wrapping honey have stimulated
the market, the Department
states. Likewise nickel candy
bars containing honey and almonds
have had a huge sale and 
consequently increased the use for
honey.

During the depression, folks put much of the blame for the cause on mass 
production, assembly lines, and sweat shops that were putting the small 
home business out of business.  Improvements in commercial beekeeping also 
puts a strain on the family bee business, giving the squeeze to this 
supplemental income.  So here is a fun read, be-it on record that honey 
crop was a bit light in 1932 due to weather conditions, the blame goes 
else ware in the authors bid to make a statement.

Unemployed Bees

Through some curious coincidence the
bees are passing through lean years even
as man is muddling and suffering
through a period of depression. In a
period when even bread is endangered
for some and life needs sweetening for
all the loss of honey is like denying the
condemned a sip of water.

Several explanations are advanced for
the unfilled hives and combs.  A British
scientist holds that from year to year the
days are getting shorter leaving fewer
“shining hours” for the bees to “improve.”

Another points out that bees are communists,
and that while they were once
endowed with reason they lost it by so
ordering life as to dispense with it.

And then this seeming loss of bee
thrift and providence may be due to a
bumbling dislike for mass production. It
is argued that bees prefer personal contact
with the keeper and that never
again will the busy bee be busy and a
willing worker unless the individualized
family hive returns to sting to life the
old apple orchard.
