Cold, rain limit Alaska honey production

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - It's turning out to be a lousy summer for Alaska's beekeepers.

The uncharacteristically wet and cold weather has devastated the season in both southcentral and interior Alaska.

Things got so bad, the Southcentral Alaska Beekeepers Association voted last month to cancel its honey booth at the Alaska State Fair in Palmer.

The association represents more than 100 beekeepers in Anchorage and the Matanuska-Susitna Borough.

Beekeepers say temperatures often were too cold for bees to leave hives.
