The Racket of Robber Bees.
IAithoughhoney stealing by bees is
likely to he 'most troublesome in late
summer, the bee -keeper has to keep
in mind that robber bees may start
their racket at any time. In warns
weather When there is little or no
honey to be got from the flowers the
Kees will easily yield to any tempta-
tion .1'0 obtain it anyhow. -After more
or less lighting they will overpower
any very weak colonies, and carry the
,honey to their own hives. Old robber
tees have a shiny appearance, the hair
having became worn off with entering
so many different hives. No colony
should be allowed to grow weak, says
the Dominion Apiarist, and no honey
or syrup should be exposed in the
apiary.
Weekly Crop Report
Most livestock is reported some-
what on the thin side owing to gen-
eral shortage of pasture. Straw will
be at a premium this winter, says e
report from North Sinicoe. In Water-
loo extremely dry weather has prac-
tically /ruined the turnip crop and
turnip aphids are also doing damage..
Local eatining factories in Brant are
buying tomatoes on grade for the
first time and this appears very satis-
factory. The planting of fall wheat has
been held ftp by lack of rain in most
districts. Lincoln County reports a
tremendous wastage of peaches from
brown Tot. Corn its Middlesex is rip-
ening rather prematurely on account
of dry weather and some fields have
borer infestation. The apple crop
looks promising in Prince Edward.
Acreage of fall wheat there, as in
other districts, will be greatly increas-
ed over last year. Optimistic reports
copse from "Dun d'as County where
livestock eonelitions have improved
with recent rains to freshen the past-
ures, where good yields of various
grain crops have been obtained and
where apples are' ver y promising,.
Rains have also helped late potatoes,
ned seeding, corn, bu.ckeeheat and
pastures in Leeds County. Comple-
tion of the initial T. 13. test in Leeds
showed 3.92 per cent of reactors, a
figure considered extremely low for
an initial test. A very large acreage
'Eggs for market should never be
exposed to direct sunlight, rain, or to
extreme heat. It is a good plan always
to keep the eggs covered with a cloth
or other means to prevent fading or
evaporation, In marketing, or at any
other time, eggs should not be placed
near kerosene, onions, fish or other
strong smelling substances, because
the eggs readily absorb odours.
The 'Bumble Flower -Beetle on Fruit
;At the present tune a considerable
of inquiries are being received from
fruit growers about a .beetle -the
;Bumble Flower -(Beetle -which is • at-
tacking ripening fruit. This insect is
a yellow -brawn beetle, one-half inch
or more in length, with its wing cov-
ers sprinkled all with small ir-
regular black spots. In late summer
it is found every year, in greater or
less numbers, •feeding on the pollen of
flowers, on ripe fruit -peaches, pears,
grapes and apples -and also on corn,
but it is rarely resonsible for serious
damage. 'In fact, declared W. A.
(Ross, Dominion Entomologist at
Vineland, we have never seen the in-
sect cause commercial injury in On-
tario, and consequently we have
never had occasion to advise the
adoption of any control measures.
