Words on Haskell
U. S. Rep, Jan Myers, R-Overland Park, speaks at the Haskell Indian Junior College library while Haskell president, Bob Martin, looks on. She told those gathered yesterday she would do her best to make sure any possible funding is provided for the college. After this year's redistricting of Kansas, Myers gained Douglas County as part of her district.
Bees keep Kansan busy
QUINTER — Waldo McBurney has been a beekeeper since 1925, but he does not pretend to know all the answers.
The Associated Press
"Ive learned an awful lot in the last five years that I should I have kept my eyes on."
McBurney, 89, likens beekeeping to farming. Some years are profitable, some are not. And you do not know until the season is over.
Take this year for instance. With above normal moisture, one might think it would be a good year for bees to produce honey.
It has not been so far.
"There's no sweet clover this year," McBurney said, puzzled by the situation.
Last year, which was dry, saw an abundance of sweet clover, which makes the best honey, according to McBurney and his customers.
"We produced 3,000 pounds of sweet clover honey last year and 700 pounds this year," he said.
different blossoms produce different consistencies of honey. Sweet clover makes a light, delicately flavored honey.
"There's nothing wrong with alfalfa honey," he said, but given the choice, his customers will buy the lighter, clover honey.
Most of his production this year will come from alfalfa fields.
This year, McBurney barely has seen able to keep up with demand.
Quinter is a honey-loving communi ty, he said.
He attributes it partly to the area's German Baptist heritage. Their preference to adhere to a simpler, natural lifestyle means using a natural sweetener like honey rather than refined sugar. McBurney explained.
Two bakeries in Quinter use his honey exclusively, because the moisture from the honey helps the baked goods stay fresh longer, he said.
"I have customers in Hays, Dighton, Norton, Oakley, all around. Some come quite a distance," he said.
And that is why at nearly 90 years of age McBurney keeps working.
"It takes a lot of time, and it isn't real profitable, but I have hundreds of families that depend on our honey home producers out here," he said.
McBurney has 100 colonies of bees scattered in eight locations as far as
10 miles away from Quinter. It is insurance in a sense, because if one location is not good, another will be and will take up the slack.
His top yard of bees produced an average of 120 pounds of honey a colony last year. But the entire operation introduced an average of just 60 pounds.
He and his wife, Vernice, and our helper will work from early morning until late evening before the job is done.
McBurney finds it somewhat ironic that he works nearly full time as a beekeeper. Sixty-five years ago, he learned how to study harvesting horticulture in college.
Since college, he has been a teacher,
an extension agent, a tax accountant,
a seed cleaner and a disc sharpener.
"I haven't turned up to it to be a horticulturist, but I am a beekeeper."
And while all the other jobs have gone to the wayside, McBurney said he figures he will continue to work as a beekeeper.
"I'm still able to do it, and a lot of people depend on it. So it's a lot of reward," he said.
