CARE DETERMINES SIZE OF HONEY CROP
Chief Essential Colonies Overlooking With Bees Ready for Field at
Beginning of the Honey Flow-Prevent Swarming-
Provide Plenty of Space

instinct OF the bees are in harmony with
the desire of the beekeeper, but during
the swarming season the instincts Of the
bee are directly opposed to bis interests.
Any breaking up Of the colony and reduc-
tion Of the working force by swarming
brings a corresponding reduction in the
amount Of surplus which may be obtained
from that colony. Therefore it is to the
beekeeper's advantage to prevent swarm
ing in every possible way. and if swarm
ing still occurs. to care for the swarms
so that as much as possible Of the orig
inal large working force may be kept to-
gether and may be kept storing honey.
Space An Essential.
The improper understanding Of these
problems no doubt causes the loss Of more
honey and has more to do with the low
average productionu than any other factor
specialists believe. The study Of these
problems is important for those who
wish to keep bees commercially, and
much Information may be obtained con-
cerning them from the bee publications
Of the Department Of Agriculture. The
usual methods Of swarm prevention are
concerned to a large extent with he
supplying OF room-roOm for brood rear
ing, and room for the storing Of surplus
honey. This is fundamental. Many
beekeepers fail to supply enough room for
these purposes. and probably no bee
keeper supplies too much During the
period Of rapid brood rearing, crowded
conditions quickly result if single hive
body is all that the colony has in which
to develop. If headed by a good Wig
orous queen a normal colony needs at
least two 1O-frame hive bodies for brOd
rearing alone, and during the honey flow
the supplying Of four or five supers fur
nlshes none too much space for nectar
storage and the ripening Of honey.
AS rapidly as the bees begin working
readily in one super, another should be
added below the first In the same way
a third super may be supplied. AS a rule
the super nearest completion is farthest
from the brood nest, and the one in which
the least has been stored is nearest the
brod nest. Toward the end Of the flow.
Increase in storage space is not desirable.

F,or increased production Of honey it is
not necessary 10 have more bee-keepers.
1t Is necessear only for those bee-keepers
-the country now has to Improve their
knowledge OF honey production and to
devote themselves more seriously to the
care OF their bees. say experts Of the
United states Department Of Agriculture.
Statistics show that the annual average
yield Of surplus honey to the colony is
exceedingly low. and when compared with
the averages ofthe better beekeepers it is
lnexcusably low and indicates unsatis-
factory arrangements due to neglect or
to ignorance.
A casual survey OF beekeeping prac-
tices makes it evident that the greatest
cause OF this low production is lack Of
care during the critical periods Of the year
Broadly, the beekeeping year may be
divided into two distinct periods-the
period Of preparation for the honey flow
and the period Of the honey flow. During
each the problems are different and may
be clearly defined. Usually there is
only one period OF preparation, which be-
gins at the end OF the honey flow in the
fall aud lasts until the main honey flow
the succeeding year However. where
there is more than one main honey flow,
there Is a period Of preparation Of varying
length between each one. The bee
keeping problem is the same, however,
and It consist in securing a colony over
flowing with bees ready for the field
when the honey flow starts.
Must Be Ready For Work.
In the North this problem is called
wintering. and to the average beekeeper
the chief concern is to care for each col
ony Of bees so that it will be in condition
to pass successfully through the winter
period. This. however, is but a small
and easy part Of the problem Bringing
bees through the winter will not in itself
accomplish the main object Of the prep
aration period. that Of securing a colony
overflowing with bees at the time Of the
honey flow. In a large measure the St
rength Of the colony is a direct gauge Of
the amount Of surplus secured and it is
to the beekeeper's advantage to do every
thing which will in any way favor rapid
brood rearing dnring the two months pre-
ious to themain flow. This means not
only that bees must be wintered but they
must be in such condition in the fall that
spring win find them ready and able to
undertake this tremendous increas in
population.
It will be seen. therefore, that the
Of bees for the harvest begins
not when winter thretens but Immediately
after the last main honey flow and con-
tinues to the beginning OF the first main
flow the succeeding year. It is imper-
alive that during all this period each coll /
ony have stores ia advance Of its needs (
at all times, room for brood rearing and 1
protection from low temeratures and .
winds These things are discussed in the |
bee publications Of the United States
OF Agriculture.
swarmlne Must BE stopped.
Toward the beginning Of the main honey .
flow the problem changes. It is now
that each colony be prevented
from reducing its working force by
swarming and that its instinct to store |
and ather honey be kept dominant. /

APPLE GROWERS DISCUSS
STANDARD PACKAGES

Representatives Of the apple grow
ers of Kent county met representatives
of the railroad administration in Do
yer on Thursday morning, May 1, to
discuss the standardization of apple
packages. The apple growers pre-
sented their views of what they con-
sidered the ideal package for Della
ware apples and II is possible that this
package will be officially adopted as
the standard bushel hamper~for ap-
pies in the whole United States.
The officials desire to meet the
strawberry growers and also the
growers of other fruit and vegetables
and at their request a meeting has
been called by the State Board of Ag-
riculture to be held at Georgetown on
Tuesday, May 10, at half past one, and
another meeting will be held at Bridge
vile on Thursday, May Is, at the same
hour, to accommodate the growers on
the western side of the county. A
number of agencies are interested in
promoting the standardization Of fruit
and vegetable packages. The funda-
mental purpose of the movement is to
prevent waste and loss in the shipping
Of perishable products, and the U. S.
Department of Agriculture. the Food
Administration and the Railroad Ad-
ministration are all interested in the
movement.
Standard packages for fruits and
vegetables from the southeastern part
of the United States have already been
adopted and after the first of July of
this year no claims for losses will be
allowed unless these products are
shipped in approved packages. By
holding meetings with the manufac-
turers Of the packages it is expected
that standard packages for Delaware
and surrounding States will be adopted
and will be put in force for next year.
1t is the desire of the Railroad Ad-
ministration to take care of the in
terest of all classes of people and time
will be given to use packages that are
already manufactured.
