Cherokee Strip No Good for Bees.
I will say for the benefit of Mr. Spencer, of Farmersville, Mo., that I
am well acquainted with the Cherokee Strip south of Hunnewell, Kans.,
and I have kept bees here (due south of his location about 60 miles)
for the last three years, and although I have a better location for
bees, my bees haven’t made their own living, nor do I think they will
more than one year in five, and my advice to all Strip settlers is, to
let bee-keeping for profit severely alone for the present.
