stover apiaries jar - 5/9/2008 7:02:55 PM    necie35020   Posts: 239 Joined: 10/28/2007 From: central alabama Status: offline This is a 5 pound honey jar from the stover apiaries. Info I found on the net says d.d. stover started apiary in 1909 in mayhew, mississippi. Then eventually spread to natchez, mississippi, helena, arkansas, and various parts of georgia. The label does say helena, but the state abreviation does not look like georgia or arkansas. Does anyone have information on the stover apiaries? Attachment (1) Post #: 1
