BEES AS CROP DEsTROYERS
Charge That Damage Results From
Sucking of Nectar From the
Flower Is Very Unjust One.

Bees are many times accused of be-
ing destroyers of crops of different
kinds, more especially the fruit crops.
The charge that damage results from
the bees sucking the nectar from the
flower is a very unjust one, relates the
Perdue Agriculturist, for, while the bee
is taking the nectar from the flowers
it is aiding greatly in the pollenation
Of the flowers, making a good crop
possible.
A complaint which is very often made
is that the honey bee punctures fruits,
apples, pears, grapes, etc., and suck
the juices. AS a matter of fact, bees
never puncture sound fruit. They do,
however, suck the juices from fruit if
the skin is broken by some other
means, thus using up fruit that is al
ready damaged.
