A Hereford bee-keeper argues against a Colorado claim that bees cannot be raised in the Panhandle. A. D. Godwin, with 18 years of experience, notes two Italian-bee hives yielding 65 pounds of honey last year and says the Panhandle needs no special prep for bee-keeping. Deaf Smith County residents for 40 years, the Godwins started after a swarm settled in their garden and have kept hives outdoors year round. Colorado visitors may admire scenery, but Deaf Smith County bees know the real work.
