  The 
  damage 
  done 
  by 
  bee-moths 
  increases 
  with 
  the 
  heat 
  and 
  dryness 
  

   of 
  the 
  breeding 
  season. 
  During 
  the 
  day 
  they 
  settle 
  near 
  the 
  hives 
  

   and 
  at 
  sunset 
  fly 
  round 
  them 
  ; 
  it 
  is 
  thus 
  easy 
  to 
  collect 
  or 
  to 
  net 
  them. 
  

   In 
  1902, 
  bee-keepers 
  in 
  the 
  district 
  of 
  Yerua 
  lost 
  80 
  per 
  cent, 
  of 
  their 
  

   hives. 
  If 
  the 
  trouble 
  is 
  severe 
  it 
  is 
  best 
  to 
  remove 
  the 
  bees 
  and 
  

   fumigate 
  the 
  infested 
  hives 
  with 
  sulphur.

  In 
  the 
  neighbourhood 
  of 
  Kajang 
  the 
  swarms 
  were 
  comparatively 
  

   small 
  and 
  scattered, 
  and 
  the 
  district 
  was 
  practically 
  free 
  from 
  hoppers 
  

   by 
  the 
  20th 
  October. 
  During 
  the 
  month 
  of 
  October 
  approximately 
  

   465 
  kerosene 
  tins 
  of 
  locusts, 
  representing 
  about 
  101 
  swarms, 
  were 
  

   destroyed. 
  Around 
  Kuala 
  Lumpur 
  the 
  swarms 
  were 
  large, 
  the 
  

   apparatus 
  being 
  barely 
  sufficient 
  to 
  cope 
  with 
  them. 
  Considerable 
  

   damage 
  of 
  a 
  temporary 
  character 
  was 
  done 
  to 
  gardens 
  and 
  hedges. 
  

   By 
  the 
  28th 
  October 
  few 
  hoppers 
  were 
  present. 
  The 
  month's 
  catch 
  

   was 
  1,820 
  tins, 
  representing 
  83 
  swarms 
  in 
  all. 
  In 
  the 
  Ulu 
  Selangor 
  district 
  

   swarms 
  were 
  large 
  and 
  in 
  situations 
  where 
  they 
  were 
  difficult 
  to 
  deal 
  

   with, 
  but 
  very 
  satisfactory 
  results 
  were 
  obtained 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  believed 
  

   the 
  locusts 
  in 
  this 
  neighbourhood 
  have 
  received 
  a 
  check 
  which 
  

   materially 
  decreases 
  the 
  possibihty 
  of 
  their 
  threatened 
  advance 
  into 
  

   Perak. 
  The 
  chief 
  centres 
  of 
  work 
  were 
  Rasa, 
  Batang 
  Kah, 
  Bukit 
  Chon- 
  

   dong, 
  the 
  Kuala 
  Selangor 
  road, 
  and 
  Serendah. 
  By 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  month 
  

   the 
  work 
  was 
  finished 
  ; 
  the 
  catch 
  being 
  3,030 
  tins, 
  representing 
  50 
  

   swarms. 
  In 
  addition 
  to 
  this 
  work 
  done 
  by 
  the 
  Special 
  Assistant 
  and 
  

   the 
  Government 
  coolies, 
  the 
  Malays 
  caught 
  approximately 
  12,000
