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.
