Experi- ence has shown that the secretion of nectar in a given locality varies sometimes, even within a distance of only a few miles. For example, it will happen that the home-yard bees will be gathering no honey when an outyard eight or ten miles away will be se- curing a fairly good crop. This is due to the fact that the character of and moisture in the soil, makes possible the growth of some plants that will not take root in other loca- tions only a few miles away. For example, a bee-yard may be situated in a valley close to a stream, along which there will be a heavy growth of honey-yielding plants. Within a few miles from there, perhaps on higher ground, and soil less productive, there will be nothing. Sometimes we find conditions like this—in one locality a large amount of buckwheat will be grown: ten miles away from there, there will be none whatever. The same is true of red clover, alsike, and a number of other artificial-pasturage crops. Again, it will happen that in one year when there is an excess of rainfall the locai-.
