<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tall Paul, post: 25853401, member: 114635&quot;]Many moons ago I was involved in an apiary. We had over 1200 hives and every winter we would take some of them from Utica NY to South Carolina. Our base was in a little town called Jedburg. The reason for taking the hives south was to split them a few times and take about three times as many hives back north where they were ready to go to work. We placed hives in the Frances Marion Forest so that we could get a crop of Tupelo honey. The rest of the hives were scattered around Westvaco lands and swamps (we had keys to the gates). Sundays were always special as we would go to Edisto beach, pick up a bushel of cull oysters on the way home and have an oyster roast with the beer that we had purchased the day before. We had to stay in Monks Corner for a little while and that is where I learned to love she crab soup, a true southern delicacy.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This a French Jeton. I do not collect them per se but I do collect 18th and 19th century coins and tokens that depict beehives.
