HONEY FROM FRUITS.
Berries, Psache. and Grapes Injured by
tho Ravages of Bees

Berries, Peaches and Grapes Injured by
the Ravages of Bees
Nectar in flowers is not honey, says
writer in Meechan's Monthly. This
nectar is gathered by the tongue of
the bee and enters what is called the
honey bag. from which it is regur-
gitated by the bee on its return to the
hive and deposited in the honey cell.
Even then it is thin and watery and
does not become really honey until
the watery parts have evaporated.
In collecting the sweets the bees do
not confine themselves wholly to the
flowers.
The writer of this paragraph has
for next ueighbor professional
bee-keeper. whose bees depend al
almost wholly on the flowers from
the writer's garden-that is to say,
there are few other flowers, except
wild ones, on which the bees can
collect their material Unfortunate
ly for him, they are not satisfied
with the flower, but also carry away
the fruit 1t is almost impossible in
raspberry time to get enough from
his garden to make respectable
dish for the tea table-nearly every
berry is sucked to pieces before it is
absolutely ripe 1t is the same with
the grapes; in order to secure them
II ON the ravages of the bees they
have to be protected by paper bags.
Last season and for the first time
they have been found to carry
away peaches also.
How they first penetrate the skin
is not clear. but it may possibly have
been from the puncture of Gu culio
The curculio frequently cuts the skin
without depositing the egg. and this
single break may be borne along

ting it to ripen- 1t is possible that
they get first entrance here. At
any rate. certain it is that before the
peach is fairly ripe little is left of
the peach but the stone. Other
fruit growers likewise complain of the
ravages of the bees. Bee keepers
contend that this cannot be; that the
bee is incapable OF peeforating the
fruit This may or may not be; cer-
tsinly what perforations might exist
before the bees discovered them
would not injure the fruit. The fol-
lowing up OF this by the bees is just
as bad as If they made the original
perforations for themselves.

THE HAeIT OF DRUoazRY

of all professional men for ideas to
incorporate into their sermons. The
