smoking the bees to quiet themA

bee consists in cross -pollinatin de-
ciduOus fruit, so that the annual yield
is markedly increased. Such fruits as
and almonds are vastly benefited
where they are produced in close proX-
unity 10 well populated beehives.
In the famous fruit t-producing re-
gions of the Far West and Pacific
country many beekeepers specialize III
the extraordinary industry of raising
honey bees, which they rent out to
the neighboring orchardists. The fruit
men understand the need of having
bees In their orchards to act as pollen
bearers from tree to tree so that
complete fertilization may be facili-
tated. BY personal tests they have
ascertained that the bees pay their
board bills a hundred times over in
the increased fruit crop.
The critical time is the Towering
period. That is the time when the
bees accomplish modern miracles in
adding to the income of the orchard
lists. The beekeepers benefit in that
their bees are maintained under ideal
conditions for the production of the
best grades of marketable honey.
Take the instance of California
prune producer. This man one year
marketed 344 tons of dried fruit from
his 18O-acre prune crop. Bees were
not hired that season as his most
efficient helpers. The following year,
however, the grower arranged with an
ariarist to keep 115 colonies Of bees on
his prupe farm. The result was that

regions bees are the farmers assist
ants. Through its pollination aid the
honey bee is responsible for most of
the alsike clover. and vitally increases
the red clover and sweet clover seed
yields. The busy bees also pollinate
the cotton plants in Dixieland
From the foregoing. you can ap-
preciate why Mr.. Kelly has gone to
the trouble Of moving about one and
one-half million bees from Forest
Glen to the large apple orchard a
dozen miles distant, These bees pro-
duce about 1900, pounds Of light col
ored honey annually, while the colo
MES at Beechbank make IN the neigh
borhood of $500 pounds of sweets.
Because he found it difficult to "shoo
chickens into their coops out of the
rain" Harold Kelly, who formerly
handled hens as a side line at Claren-
don, Va, turned to bees as a profita BILE
avocation. During the eight years
that he has been engaged in the bee
business, his enterprise has developed
to point where the insect manufac-
turers now occupy every moment of
their owners spare time. At times,
he has maintained as many as 225
marketed more than Ave tons of honey

the bees imposed to much on the

At present. the Beechbank bees are

bees are more efficient than any Oil or

bees is delegated the task of furnish

around the border of the cluster and
act as insulators to keep the warmth
