from commercial bee men as many as eight
colonies of bees per acre of seed, and at a
rate of from $3.50 to 81 per colony of bees.
This charge varies with the number of
colonies per acre requested. The more
colonies per acre desired, the higher the
charge per colony The reason for this is that
with only one or two colonies per acre the
bees will get some honey. However if as
many as eight colonies per acre are en-
ployed there will be overcrowding as far as
nectar supply goes and the beekeeper may
actually move the bees out of the pollinating
area with less stores than when they were
moved into it. It is therefore necessary that
the beekeeper charge more w h e n h
chances of getting a honey crop are very
slim.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1955-08-15

Canada, on the other hand, has done con-
siderable work with honeybees as pollinators
and their work indicates that there is little
if any benefit derived from them alfalfa
for feed if there is an abundance of natural
pollinators such as humble bees and leaf cut
ter bees.
We in Montana have done very little work
on alfalfa po1lination with honeybees and
must, therefore, rely on work done else
where. Our present opinion, is however, that
hiring honeybees for pollination of alfalfa is
not economically sound if there is an abun-
dance of wild bees. There are alfalfa seed
producers in Montana who would deny this
and who do hire honeybees for pollination
and claim that it is a paying proposition.
