Madison = Unless beekeepers are
permitted to obtaiS sugar necessary
for the bees, the supply of honey pro-
duced by Wisconsin this year will
show a decided falling off. The long,
hard winter has in many cases reduc-
ed the bees supply of honey below the
danger point. If such colonies are not
fed they will dwindle and die, or at
least will not be able to build
up in time for the honey flow.
Only strong colonies are prof
liable producers. Accordin gto the
State Food Administrator, a few
pounds of sugar may make difference
of fifty or 100 pounds in the amount Of
honey colony will produce during the
approaching summer. DR.. z. D. Bali,
State EntomOlOgist, who has charge of
apiary inspection. states that the bee
keepers should go before notary and
make affidavit to the number of colon
les of bees, the number of pounds of
sugar necessary to carry them through
the season; that the sugar thus Sc
cured will not be used for any other
purpose, and if any part of it is not
used that it will be turned back to the
dealer supplying it. They should also
give the dealers name and address
If such an affidavit is properly filed
out and sent to the State Food Ad-
ministration, at Madison, dealers will
be authorized to furnish the necessary
sugar.
