Precautions to
take whQn
removing bees
tor Bugged by bees this summer?
There are several steps the..
homeowner„ can take to destroy
nests built in or near,homes.
AlthOugh, bees are normally
considered beneficial insects in
the pollination of fruit and seed
crops and in the production of
honey, the _Department of
Agriculture at the University of
Guelph says that because of the
stings bees carry, they may be a
hazard. Therefore, under some
.circumstances it is desirable that
• they be destroyed.
Swarming is quite a natural'
occurrence. Honeybees often
congregate in a cluster which
may form on a tree branch or
fence post. "If left
undisturbed,'? ;says Dr. M. V.
Smith of the Department of
•- Agriculture, "such a cluster will
usually fly off within a day or
two, without harming anyone."
However, if the presence of a
large number of stinging insects
makes people uneasy, Dr. Smith
aJvises that immediate action
may be taken.
A beekeeper may be called
upon to remove a swarm. Or it
may be destroyed by clipping
• off the branch on which torie bees
•

are clustered, placing it in a sack
or carton and burning it. This
should be done in the evening
when the bees are quiet. •
•Certain , insecticides are also
effective in destroying bees.
Bumblebees produce small
nests, seldom holding more than
100 bees. They prefer to nest on
the ground, or in strawstacks,
ouituildings and ,woodpiles. Dr.
Smith says that the nest
population dies off in the fall.
Wasps build fairly large paper
nests of several hundred insects.
They attach their nests to the
eaves of houses, branches of
trees and shrubs and sometimes
on or beneath the ground.
The Department emphasizes
that treatment for removal of
bees and wasps should be carried
out only in the evening. At that
time all bees and wasps are in
the nest and' a complete kill is
possible. Also there is less risk"Of
being stung. '
Further ;information on the'
destruction of bees and wasps
may be obtained from the
Ontario •Department of
Agriculture and Food.
Publication., 157, Removal of
Bees from Buildings and Trees.

• your telephone manager
Many stores and businesses. in Quebec and Ontario have a
special 5 -digit telephone number that lets you call Ahem from
out-of-town without Long Distance charge to you. It's called
Zenith service and it's a handy thing to know about especially
during the summer months when so .many of us are.visiting away
from our home base.
If a company has Zenith service ina particular place you'll find
their:special Zenith number in their local ad or listed in thV local
telephone directory - just as though the company had a store or
office right there in town. AlliYou do is call the Long Distance
Operator and give her the Zenith number; she'll connect you
directly to the distant company. The company with the Zenith
service will be billed for your call. It's like reversing the charges
on a Long Distance call but it saves you the bother of making the
arrangements with the Operator.
If you want to conduct some business with a firm that isn't
located here in Goderich, check the London-poderich telephone
directory. You may find the company has Zenith service here in
town.
* *
If you're writing to us about your telephone service would you
be sure to include your telephone number with your
corxespondence? Also, if for some reason you are unable . to
include your payment card and account with your payment,
would you jot your telephone number down on your cheque or
money order? This will help ensure that your payment is
reflected accurately in the proper records. Often times we have
difficulty establishing the identity of a customer who has mailed
an item about, his service to us. With the „telephone number
marked on the correspondence this problem is eliminated.
Did you know that the Canadian telephone industry requires
about $6 million worth of plastic materials and that most of this
is furnished by Canadian sources? Furthermore, by the year 2000
- only 31 years away - this figure will reach $20 million.
