SONS, the fruit tree blossoms, and the
many wild flowers found on the mesas
and the foothills about FL Paso afford
excellent "pasturage" for these bees, It
IS said, and thev DO no damage TO the
plants.
Bee culture is almost clear profit and
the money made from honey is not in
considerable. The census Of the United
States for 1910 shows that there were
23S.107 colonies of bees in the state and
that IS pounds Of honey to q colony is

Express figures that the state produces
at least 100000 pounds of honey
year. The Express asserts that some
colonies Of bees have Welded as much as
800 pounds year Honey is now sell
the same authority, making the honey
crop Of the state worth over million
and a half dollars a year with the pro
duetion at 100000 pounds
That bees are not damaging to fruit
crops or to flowers is asserted bv the
United States department OF agriculture,
which In a bulletin on the subject of
"Bees," states that at is not only IN
true that bees are detrimental to fruit
trees, but in MANY instances they aid in
the pollination of the flowers, making
: good crop possible"
"a more frequent complaint" says the
bulletin, ais that the bees puneture the
fruit and suck the Juice. Bees never
puncture sound fruit, but If the skin is
broken by some other means. bees viii
often suck the fruit dry. In doing It,
however. they are sucking fruit which
is already damaged. These and similar
charges against the honey bee are
prompted bv lack Of information con-
corning their activities. Bee keepers
