"How doth the busy little bee?"
This ancient and poetic query
was neither academic nor rhetori-
cal this week to fruit growers of
the Kennewick community.
Because the buzzing little insect
did not appear to be busy enough
about his task of carrying pollen
from the blossoms of known pol
lenizing cherry trees to the other
blossoms of the orchards.
che bee, said Mckinley Des-
oranges, is by all odds the most
effective agent in the pollenizing
process that must take place to
produce heavy yields of cherries,
prunes and plums.
Other flying insects help things
along, but the pollen-packing pack
horse of the cherry orchards is the
bee. 2 ~
For this reason, known pollen

amounts secured are mixed with
powdered milk in ration of about
one part to three. It is made
available to growers in cardboard
cartons, and thereafter busted on
the blossoms. ~ e.
The method has not met with
outstanding success. Another
technique involves brushing the
powder on the blossoms. It, too,
has been disappointing.
The vital catalyst in the process
remains the little bee. And on
cold and windy days, he just isn't
very busy.
That's why the growers pray
for the right kind of weather dur
