" agitation." The law makers of the State 

 will generally listen to facts, if intelligent 

 bee keepers will furnish the facts to tbem. 

 Uo at it in a business way. 



J. E. Pond— As I do not believe that any 

 good results come from spraying blossoms, 

 I think in the interest of apiculture some 

 means should be taken to prevent the prac- 

 tice of so doing, where it exists. 



Rev. M. Mahin— There should certainly 

 be an amount of agitation that will sup- 

 press spraying fruit-trees when in bloom. 

 But I think it is pretty well supprest. It is 

 very generally understood that spraying 

 when the tress are in bloom does little if 

 any good. 



S. T. Pettit— We have a law. in Ontario. 

 Canada, prohibiting the spraying ot fruit- 

 trees while in bloom. It is not a law cov- 

 ering Canada, as one writer has stated. 

 Every State and Province. I think, should 

 have such a law. But it should not require 

 much agitation to secure one. 



Mrs. J. M Null— Rather a school of in- 

 struction as to when it should be done. The 

 ignorance on this question is without 

 parallel. What with the country flooded 

 with oily-tougued spraying-machine agents, 

 all intent on turning a penny, the extent of 

 the evil to be apprehended is incalculable. 



E. S. Lovesy— Yes. decidedly. All inter- 

 ested should choroly understand this mat- 

 ter, and not 'go it blind," as many are 

 now doing. Many have drencht their trees, 

 not only destroying the bees but destroy- 

 ing the fruit also, by washing the pollen 

 out of the blossoms, thus throwing their 

 time and money away, as there are no 

 moths or eggs present when the trees are in 

 bloom. While the trees will blossom at a 

 less temperature than fiO-, the moth will 

 not hatch at a less temperature than 60, 

 and if they are hatcht artificially they will 

 not lay their eggs at a less temperature 

 than oil degrees. This can he proven by 

 taking the larva' and hatching them in 

 the hot-house in early spring. Farther 

 south the difference may not be as long, 

 but here in Utah the trees come into bloom 

 the last week in April, but no hatcht larvit 

 are ever around before June 10 to 120. and 

 as eggs hati^h in a week, and any one can 

 find them less than 4S hours later boring 

 into the fruit, this proves that the eggs are 

 not laid for five or six weeks after the trees 

 were in bloom. Thus June is soon enough 

 to commence spraying, but to obtain suc- 

 cess the spraying must be kept up till about 

 the first cold storm in September.

A Good Report. 



I have an increase of 21 colonies from 33 

 in the spring, making .~j3 now. and have 

 taken l.COO pounds of extracted honey, 

 with about 100 pounds of comb honey. I 

 used mostly queens for my increase, buy- 

 ing 14 and rearing the rest. There is plenty 

 of white clover where I live. 



I move my bees every fall t(5 the Illinois 

 bottoms. It is 10 miles. I will move them 

 next week. I think we will have a good 

 honey harvest down there this fall, fuse 

 ventilators when I move the bees to keep 

 them cool. I move them on a spring-wagon, 

 10 colonies to a load. I put a frame over 

 the top ot the wagon-bed, and carry 10 

 without any trouble. I have moved tbem 

 now for six falls, and never lost a colony.
