   "I have been reading up in our 
famous "ABC ?     XYZ"    of A. 1. 
Root and in this it says that Eucalyp- 
tus trees have been tried to some ex- 
tent in California and  some  other 
places but that there is not enough 
evidence to give any very definite re- 
sults from these trees so far as bee- 
keeping is concerned, but that the 
yields aiready show that it is likely to 
became an important source of nectar 
in the future. Nearly all my honey 
is E. Paniculata. At the present I feel 
certain that this tree is hard to beat 
for producing nectar and that pro- 
duces quality and quantity. There are 
no other varieties of the Eucalyptus 
tree in this forest, so I shall have to 
spend several seasons down there be- 
fore I can definitely know how they 
blossom and at what period of the year. 
There is one tree, E. Maculata, that 
gives a1very dark red honey when ex- 
tracted and it is too stringy (to use a 
common word). The density is a little 
lower than the E. Paniculata, about 
42.50 Baume at 600 F. The flavor 
is by no means unpleasant, resembling 
the fresh flavor of dried dates. When 
blended with the E. Paniculata honey, 
which is done to some extent by the 
bees themselves, it loses its stringy- 
ness and gives to the E. Paniculata a 
wonderful red tinge of color.    E. 
Maculata honey does not granulate as 
soon as E. Paniculata." 
   "The  demand   for comb   honey, 
which, up to the present, has only 
been sold at rare intervals, and in 
chunk, in this district, is very good. 
I am going to try a few hives with 
comb honey supers during the light 
 
 
honey period. I have never produced 
comb honey before, but my grand- 
father in 1900-14 was very successful 
in the Orange Free State. From him, 
I learned some of the main principles, 
and by reading up the various articles 
I have concerning comb honey, I hope 
to be able to succeed."
