As the pollen of neither apple, pear, plum nor cherry is produced in sufficient quantity or is of the right con-sistency to at early morn and dewy eve, often in weather too windy for the hive bee to work in ; they .start work also soon after a shower. The hive bee is, however, undoubtedly the most important and numerous of tue- fruit pollenizers, and is the only one under our control to increase or decrease it& numbers; the diseases of bees are there- fore a very great calamity to fruit- growers, manv of whom unfortunately dt> not value the' work of the bee as highly as they should, and get their work done by other people's Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original London
