AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL 



April 



to be more fatal than when we used 

 the paste. I have an orchard and 

 helped to kill my own bees. It seems 

 to me that something could be found 

 to mi.x with the spray powder that 

 the bees would not work on. 



While I am one of the heavy losers, 

 I am not the heaviest, as some have 

 lost more bees than I.

A Great Bee Country 



This is a great honey producing sec- 

 tion, on the Shoshone project. On my 

 farm of 120 acres, this year, there will 

 be 110 acres in sweet clover and al- 

 falfa, enough material for twenty tons 

 of honey. It seems that bees cannot 

 be had. Perhaps you can help me to 

 get in touch with someone who has 

 the bees and equipment to utilize this 

 nectar, benefit ourselves and help pro- 

 duce food for our countrymen.
