6--~THE PORT PERRY STAR--THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1052 Ridge Ramblings By Jamesine Willis , THE WORTHY HONEY BEES A big town .paper printed a head- line recently concerning the shortage of honey bees and told how the lack was serious, So for a minute or two perhaps we could doff our hats to the. honey-bee. ti "21 "Most people think of the "oe's as just oe os Coa 4 a pe hE yr "i A oh) - 25a en I RS - i Sa sat Ee bl a a ht ~~) gt oN , - ie ly Aa, he oR EN i oe ei i ROSITA CL: SN Bo Tea 7 ENC TE SRN RS = Na Caan a hr RC a SS a RRR ERNST another-insect-and ene to-be- avoided foaq the soil because of its ability to sting and so when {it actually.is a real benefactress 'we would do well to give it full credit where 'it is so worthy.. This is the only insect that man has been able to ~ domesticate or control and it does its " "tremendous business in an exacting way which would put most of we humans to shame. More and more responsibility is be- ing laid on the honey-bee., Govern- ments ask for an incréase in bee pop- ulation because there is so much to. be done; the world looks to the honey bee: to end the food shortage; the farmer looks to the honey-bee'to main- tain his income; the fruit grower owes his abundance to the workers in the hive; the vegetable man and the flor- ist all look directly to the honey-hee to maintain their businesses. Pollenization is the business of the bee. It has also been the business of many other insects but unfortunately as we cut down forests and small wooded areas, do away with swamp- lands, clean up fence rows, we are also doing-away with-the- natural habitat of native insects. . As we spray and dust for mosquitoes and garden pests ~ we destroy many, many insects and more and more burden of pollination is laid on the domesticated honey-bee. Commercial fruit growers distribute colonies of bees throughout their orchards during the blossom time to insure abundant set of fruit. who do own bees, rent them from an apiarist, Great care must be taken with sprays to prevent injury to the Those . hives; losses both in larvae and nurse bees which elaborate the pollen for consumption have been caused by bees carrying pollen covered with arsenical poison back to the hive, - Legume crops are the best pasture for honey-bees and are also the most éniportant crops in a sound agricultur- 'al 'scheme, These are the crops that by supplying nitrogen and when plowed under provide much of that all-necessary humus. Conserva- tion measures to insure the complete and permanent treatment of soils in- clude -the legumes --= the 'clover and alfalfa crops for which honey bees in abundance are necessary to produce good quality seed in quantity to make it possible to carry on an ideal con- servation program, Besides pollination being so import- ant we cannot overlook the fact that bees give us such delicious honey which has many varied uses, Then there is beeswax which is such a wond- erful preservative, Your treasured oil painting likely has a protective coating of beeswax. The Roman Catholic church burn candles made of bleswax 'because there is no smoke when bees- wax burns. These are merely by- products the pollination services are the important féhtures of bees. It is no exageration that for each dollar that goes into the beekeepers pocket, fifteen' to twenty dollars worth of pollination services are bestowed on agriculture, insure an adequate bée population is the apiarist. . The beekeeper will keep the degree of business which goes to only enough Yo supply the demands of the honey market. 3 The bees are dozing in the winter but in the warm weather look at them with an appreciation. of their industry, of their gifts' to the world, of the| example they can give to- humanity and more fully enjoy the dividends of the bee colony.
