At intervals a survey was made of the sprayed trees and the trees on 

 each side of them, which were essentially the same except that they had no 

 spray on them. Bees actually on the blossoms were counted. The count 

 was made while walking around each tree, and an equal amount of time 

 was given for the count on each tree. The results of these surveys are 

 shown in the following table. The rows of circles indicate three rows, 

 and each circle represents a tree. The daggers show the location of the 

 sprayed trees in the open. Asterisks indicate caged trees, and the figures 

 represent the number of bees counted on the tree. ( Fig. 7 shows plan of 

 orchard).

in the Open and the Number of Bees Found on the 



Unsprayed Trees About Them. 



It is seen from these surveys, a part of which were made by disin- 

 terested and impartial persons who did not, at the time, know the purpose 

 of the count, that the bee does not avoid sprayed trees. There were 245 

 trees in the orchard (Fig. 7), and all were available to the bee except the 

 three that were caged. If there had been any discrimination against the
