HONEY CROP
IN BRANTLEY
IS FAILURE
The honey crop in Brantley
County is practically a complete
failure this year, according to
E. J. Lewis, one of the county’s
honey producers.
The freeze last spring killed
the gallberry blossoms to such
an extent that there is a com
plete failure of the better grade
of honey in this section. All the
honey produced this year is the
off-grade Ty Ty which has little
commercial value.
Brantley County ordinarily
produces approximately 300,000
pounds of honey, with about half
being produced by four producers
in the county and the other half
being produced by people who
put their beehives in the county
but conduct their business office
outside the county.
The four main producers in
Brantley County are E. J. Lewis,
Nahunta; Mrs. George Bray, Lul
aton; Buster Bryant and A. C.
Herrin, Hortense.
These four local producers pro
duce and ship about 150,000
pounds of honey in a good crop
year. This year they had a com
plete failure of their main money
crop of honey. In fact, they may
have to buy sugar to feed their
bees through the coming winter.
