An interesting addition to the Perrine story: 

Bee Journal, Chicago, Ill, July 12, 1894
Page 39

Mr. C. O.  Perrine,  the man noted 
in time past as a honey-dealer, and who 
practiced migratory bee-keeping down the 
Mississippi river on a barge, is now a resident 
and land owner in Riverside, Calif.; 
and though the snows of many winters 
whiten his head, he is still an active business 
man. At present it is orange-orchards 
and not bees. So says Rambler, in Gleanings. 
We might add that Mr. Perrine once 
attempted to feed glucose to his bees, hoping 
to produce "honey" from it, and 
nearly ruined his whole apiary. The whole 
glucose business is no good for the beekeepers, 
and its use must be avoided and 
condemned by them at all times.
