is urgently needed, consequently bee-
keepers in Canada are being urged to
work their bees and equipment -be the
utmost capacity:
The main sources of honey in Can=
ada are Alsike, White Du'lch and
Sweet Clovers. Although the major
portion of the honey crop comes from
the clovers grown under 'cultivation a
great amount of it is secured from
those that grow under natura:1 condi-
tions along roadsides and on uncul-
tivated land, says C. B. Gooderham,
Dominion Apiarist. Usually the cul-
tivated crops are cut .for 'hay before
they finish blooming, so that the flow
of nectar is prematurely stopped and
possible honey crop reduced. Under
natural conditions, however, the clo-
vers will continue to blossom until late
autumn, so the flow of nectar is con-
tinued over a longer period and the
honey crop thereby increased. Phit is
particularly true of sweet clover. It
is estimated that under suitable wea-
ther conditions for nectar secretion,
one acre of clover allowed to blossom
normally will yield from .1 to 200
pounds of honey.
Just now there is an abundance of
clover of all kinds growing along
roadsides and on uncultivated land
which, if allowed to bloom would add
many thousands, .perhaps millions of
pounds to the honey crop of Canada.
In 'order that this potential crop of
food may be secured it is hoped that
in any region where cutting the veg-
etation along roadsides and on waste
land, is practised, an effort will be
made to leave standing as much of
the clover as possible.
