The New York Sun of the 14th has the following : Mr. J. S. Harbison, of San l)iego County, California, arrived in this city yesterday with ten car loads of honey, each car containing 2U,XX) pounds. TbU va.st aggregation of bee labor waa taken from Mr. Harbison's six apiaries on the sides of the ooat range of mountains, as near to the Mexican line as they well can be and yet claim the

I protection of the Stars and Stripes. Twenty-five years ago Mr. UarbU ; son made a stir in the bee world by sellj ing at one time ,0uu pounds of honey, j the product of his apiary, near New i Castle, Pennsylvania. So much honey I had never before been raised by a single producer, and the sale led hundreds of j staid farmers to embark in what looked i like a most profitable field of industry, j The result was not flattering. Short j seasons and limited bee paaturage forj bade profitable bee cultHre. Old-fashioned Lives were then the only kind known. The modern means of robbimr

bes without killing tbem had not theu been thought of. Having invented a hive that enabled the culturist to obtain successive crops of honey from the same colony of bees, Mr. Harbison began to look for a region that would supply the food for the bees. He searched for thi in the equable climate of the Pacific coast, and found it in a narrow strip of country in the extreme southwestern corner of the L'nited States, now known as the bee belt of California. Sheep-raising wis the csly indutry of t'iu tAlive found by Mr. Harbis.m when he first visited the country. The country inland was thought good enough for sheep pasturing, but no one dreamed that the soil could be made to produce grain in paying quantities. Timber was confined to the bottoms of running streams and the canyons, the valleys and hilLsides being covered with a growth of stunted brushwood from which sprang a luxuriant growth of white sage, sumac, and other flowering shrubs, which bloom there nine months of the year. Mr. Harbison's first apiary was started on a mountain-side, go miles eat of San Diego. He embarked for the West with 70 hives of bees, but these were

I reduced to 62 by casualties. Prom them

uc now six apiaries, an: a total ol 3.0O0 hives. He employs 15 men constantly, and is reaping rich profits from many thousands of acres that must otherwise have been a barren waste. He foon had many imitators, and now not less than three hundred persons are taking honey along the ' Ike Kelt." The California bee season, Mr. Harbison says, begins by Feb. 1. In March or April the bees swarm, and the bee culturist has lively time in savirg the swarms. The science has become so systematized now that the apiculturist knows within a day or two when a given hive may be expected to fcwarui, and as the young bees always settle somewhere near the parent hive at least once before selecting their new quarters, a swarm is seldom lost. The flowers are atthe height of their luxuriance in Mav and

6 June, and the taking of honey is be"un

usuany aooui Niay i'o, and the bees are kept at work a long as the flowers last. They cea.se to bloom in sullicient quantity to more than subsist the bees in the early part of August ; but the little workers are able to find enough to live on without consuming their stores a- late as October. It will thus be seen that the harvest-time i never longer than three months, and is often much less. After October begins, although the air

is still mild and spring-like, the bees cease to work, and retire into a semidormant condition. Once every eight or ten days a colony will turn out at midday and fly around for an hour or two in the sunshine, but they never fly far from the hive, and are never seen at work. The food of the bee in the bee belt is generally the flower at the white sage, a plant that closely resembles the

garden sage. This is not to be contounded with the sage brush cf Nevada

and t tah, which is of the wormwood species, and has the family bitterness. Next to the sage ia importance as bee f.Hi is the sumac, a shrub that grows in California without poisonous quality. In fact, there is no poisonous flowering plant in the bee range, and the honey has none of the colicky qualities that make Eastern grown honey objectionable. The honey is graded by the culturUt according to the plant from which it is derived. That made from sage flowers, being clearest and most aromatic, i most valuable. Mr. Harbison say that notwithstanding the great crop that he has brought to this market, he will probably not realie more than $l,(Hj :ifu-r deducting expenses and interest on capital.

were built at heavy cost. The continuous labor of lo men is needed in the care of propagation and harvesting. The hives, boxes for shipment, and household supplies have all to be transported from San Ibego, 4' miles from his most remote apiary.
