A very re- larkable and possibly very in- tructive incident relative to bee bundance was observed. The vfinter flowage was removed from . bog of two and a half acres in Cast Carver on June 20. This bog eached full bloom about August 8. Jumblebee workers and males came o this bog in astonishing numbers vhenever the weather was fair hroughout the blooming.
