Post Script.—While this sheet is in the press a paragraph has appeared 
in the papers (“ Daily News,” June 3) announcing the introduction of a 
large number of Cyprian and Syrian bees into this country. The importer 
is Mr. D, A. Jones, of Beeton, Ontario, who at the date mentioned was 
exhibiting his insects at the London offices of Messrs. Thurber, in Cannon 
Street. He speaks of the Syrian or Holy Land hee as a vace of especial 
value, noting particularly the long distances to which they will travel, the 
great speed of their flight, and the surprising loads which they are capable 
of bearing home. Will they prove identical with the Smyrnean bees ?
