Important part in this respect OF
course. the bee unconsciously does is
work Of fertillzing blossoms. It's prime
object being - secure the nectar Sc
creted in the corolla: but as It buries
itself deep in the blossom II carries
on It's downy body the fertilizing pol

Lettuce Is raised in the houses from
October to March, the cucumber-vines
not being set out until about the mid

There Is. however. a pathetic side
to the case: and that is, the loss Of the
bees. After the little fellows fly about
the house from blossom TO blossom
they fail In most cases to find their
hives. and hundreds Of them can be
seen bobbing against the glass roof of
the house, trying to get outside.
II doesn't take much OF this TO put
them out of business, and so we find
hundreds of dead bees on the floor
which could not get to their homes.
This being the case. Mr.. Becker Is

matter of a few dollars output for a

Thus year after year this shrewd old

should be sure that there are bees
