THE BEE-KEEPERS* REVIEW 



107 



Declares Bees Are Overworked. 



NuKTHPOKT, Dec. 0. — (i. M. DailU', 



representing the Boughey and Dame 

 Montmorency cherry orchard, says that 

 more bees are needed in the western 

 Michigan country to insure the pollen- 

 ization of the fruit blossoms. 



Thousands of trees have been set dur- 

 ing the past few years, and the number 

 of colonies has been increased but little. 

 The point has now been reached where 

 the present bee population is unable to 

 render the service expected of it, and 

 more colonies are needed. 



Mr. Dame believes that at least fifty 

 new colonies should be established in 

 his immediate neighborhood, and sev- 

 eral times that number should be locat- 

 ed within what is properly known as 

 the Northport section. Mr. Dame is sure 

 that what is true regarding the needs 

 of the Northport territory is also true 

 regarding sections of western Michigan, 

 where there have been heavy settings 

 of fruit trees. 



He considers the need of bees so 

 great that he suggests that colonies be 

 allowed to increase until all the hollow 

 trees in the woods are filled, as well as 

 a goodly number of hives.
