By Harry J. Boyle
Honey production in the Province
Of Ontario as a w,h.ole this year Will
be lower. In fact apiarists in many
sections' found that their bee colon-
ies produced little more than enough
for wintering. Perth, Huron, Grey
and Bruce Counties have been much
more 'fortunate, however, according
to Professor Townsend of the agri-
cultural department of the Ontario
Agricultural College, in that their
honey production will be Just slight-
ip below normal.
Huron and Grey Counties are tete
leading honey producing districts.
Bruce Co'unty's production. ranks

deal from the standpoint of the
colonies in active production. In

of Western Ontario. Theodore C.
Haberer, of Zurich, county apiary
inspector and Himself the operator
of 1,400 colonies of bees stated a
few of the trials and tribulations.
Infestation
"We were progressing very well
with beekeeping up until 1925,"
stated Mr. Haberer, "when the
colonies of the district became in-
fested with American foul brood.
The disease ie a particularly bad,
one and some apiaries were wigged
out entirely. I was inspector at the
time and I can tell you we were
mighty busy destroying,' diseased
colonies.
"Practically every apiary in the
County" of Huron was affected by
the disease. The future for 'bee-
keepers didn't seems parttoulartY
bright, but the apiary ' owners co- 1
operated ina splendid way. Some
owners had 'to have 75 per cent of
their colonies' destroyed. That's
quite a blow when you consider
that the frames and boxes must alsc
be burned. But we cleaned up the
disease and thio spring out of 5,000
colonies which I inspected' there

Mr.:Haberer'si statement is borne

Production is down this year due
to rainy weather. The bee is one
wo:tker who hates to go out in the
rain, and he was hampered this year
by a lack of bright sunshiny days
when be could rnage around and
find blossoms and pollen.
