ADVANTAGES OF BEE KEEPING
Are Many to the Fruit Grower a.
Their Activity Insures FertiIiza.
ton Of Blossoms.

(BY NELSON A. CLARKE)
Bookkeeping is valuable aid in the
cultivation of fruit and seed crops. In
sects which feed on nectar play an i'm
pOrtant part in the fertilization of 6ow-
ers. Fertilization is effected in other
ways, but the agency Of insects 10 the
more certain and e1lcacious, and no
other insect is comparable with the
honey bee In this respect. A strong
hive contains 10000 bees in February,
$4,000 IN. March. 10000 in April, and
from $4,000 to $4,000 IN Nay. It has
been discovered BY shllful Observers
that tie average load Of nectar car
lied to tho hive BY a bee il about three.
tenths Of grain, 50 that the collection
of one pound of nectar requires near
" $4,000 forasing excursions. BY
means of hives set on balances It has
been found that the daily increase Of
weight in May averages 3.3 pounds.
Occasionally more than II pounds 10
gained in one day, and when the
amount consumed by the bees and the
loss of weight by evaporation are con-
sidered, it appears probable that the
average daily quantity of nectar COL
lected is not less than II pounds,
which would load 100000 bees. As a
bee visits ten flowers on the average
in collecting single load, some $780,.
900 flowers are visited in one day by
the bees of single hive. An addi-
tional large number of visits is re-
quired for the collection of pollen.
These figures explain why many trees
and plants bear small crops in the alb.
sence of bees.
