b and r motors limited i used cars raytcrsupptyees food next winter one of the most important problems of the canadian heekeeper is that of providing his bees with anidequate supply of wholesome food for the win- it la true that many bcokeepers in favoured districts have solved this problem by simply killing their bees in the fall and replacing them with package bees the following spring this policy however is not suitable for the greater- part of canada because of the small crops of honey produced by package bees as compared with over wintered colonies sugar syrup has always been con sidered a afe food for wintering bees and large quantities of it are used duting the post few years however more and more honey has been sub stituted tor sugar because of the nar row prlc range between the two com modities says c b gooderham do minion apiarist the present up ward trend of honey prices may tempt many beekeepers to market their honey and return to sugar feeding provided of course the price of sugar does not keep abreast with that of honey during times of peace the beekeeper has little or no difficulty in securing all the sugar he requires bul in times of war sugar is apparently one of the first commodities to be a fleeted shortly after the outbreak of war in september 1939 it was found necessary to place certain restrictions upon the sale of sugar and beekeepers were un able to secure sufficient for their needs except by special permit from the war times prices and trade board sugar rationing is in effect in the united kingdom therefore it is logical to assume that definite restrictions will remain in force in canndn although no actual shortage of sugar is antici pa ed at the moment such a ixxssi billty should not be o crlooked and the beekeeper would be wtll advised lo adopt precautionary measures by sav ing from his main eropone deep super of wellfilled combs for every colony he intends to put away for next win ter should it later develop that suf ficlent supplies of sugar are available and the price differential between sugar and honey justifies it this honey can later be extracted and sold it is realized of course that the feeding of honey is dangerous in an apiary where disease is present but the danger is minimized if oarc is taken to save a super from every colony and then to glve it back to the colony that produced it or better still not to remove it from the colony at all in consdcring the foregoing advice the marketing situation should be kept in mind in the fall of 1939 the export market was suddenly cut off and beekeepers became anxious over the possblllty of the home market absorbing the crop fortunately the export restrictions were later removed and with the removal came an lm- proyemen in the honey trade un fortunately however there is no as surance that the export market will not again be temporarily closed as a mater of fapt the prime minister of great britain issued a warning some time ago that the purchase and importation of goods that could be done without might be stopped tlie united kingdom is practically the only export market for canadian iiqupj any restrictions will have a serious oiled on the canadian produc er at tht commencement of the war honey wa classified as a luxury food m nee the restrictions that wire plac cd upon it it is quite possible that honey may again be classed as such this of course is only speculation but should it occur and tin crop of 04o qual that of 1938 the home ma kit v mid beconu flooded under these circumstances where could btttir place be found for
