Last Thursday was "Swarm, day"
for honey bees located in the walls
of houses over a wide area. The
high temperature, . along with the
high humidity, produced the
"muggy" air conducive to this
activity. Swarms were reported
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Al-
bert Middelkamp on the tenth of
Huron west of the railroad tracks,
at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Glenn Boyd on the sixth west,
and at the neighbourhood of Dun-
can and Lillian Simpson south of
Kintail. To date they have
swarmed on three different occa-
sions
cca-sions at the home of Graham and
Mary Cook in Ripley since the
first of June.
