Work at the field laboratory at Davis, Calif., during June includ- 
ed observations concerning the set of pears, and the "June drop" in the 
orchards in which package bees had been placed at blooming time, in other 
pear orchards where bees had been placed for pollination, and in near-by 
orchards where few or no honeybees had been found during the bloom time. 
- A third candy—feeding test has been started at the Southern States 
Bee Culture Field Laboratory, Baton Rouge, La., using 200 Italian bees per 
cage, and 14 cages in the test. The candies used are plain candies of 
various boiling points and diatase candies of similar composition. One 
cage of each set is being fed water.
