I (Experimental Farms News) I he chief value of the honey bee lies not in the amount of honey it gathers but in its aid to agriculture generally. The community in which the beekeeper operates often receives more benefit than the bekeeper him self. The importance of the honey bee, particularly in the early spring when few other pollination insects are prev alent, cannot be estimated; later its importance in the pollination of other crops, as small fruits and clovers, is generally recognized. The honey-bees are especially well adapted to carry pollen. Their bodies and legs are cov ered with hairs to which the pollen grains adhere when working the flow er in search of pollen and nectar for their own requirements. Many of these grains of pollen become lodged on the receptive stigmas and fertilize the flowers. Although the honey bee can scarcely be called domesticated, its numbers can be controlled. Hund reds of hives are moved yearly from one section to another either to be placed in orchards for pollination pur poses to or gather a crop of honey. Over-wintered colonies of bees have been used in the orchard of the Ex perimental Station, Kentville, N.S., for many years for pollination purposes, states E. D. Craig, Head Keekeeper. . This duce aged rels which bees have been used as pollin ators, even though the bloom was on ly medium, have produced good crops although the former.crop histories of these orchards with a similar bloom were in many cases exceedingly ir regular. The habitat i-f the honey bee is not confined to any particular zone but it is active from the Tropics almost to the Arctic Circle and the honey pro duced per hive varies not with the length of the season but with the abundance of flora and the length of the day. Honey production is steadily increasing in Canada. orchard has never failed to pro- a crop and since 1930 has aver- an anual production of 100 har per acre.
