Each man has charge of a certain number of apia- ries for which he is individually re- sponsible. Sweet clover is grown so extensively that many of their loca- tions will support from 100 to 200 or more colonies of bees. The great difficulty is not in finding pasture but in securing a location in an ac- cessible place, and also in getting far enough from disease centers that the bees are not reinfected with foulbrood with discouraging fre- quency. Since foulbrood is so thoroughly established in every direction the best they can do is to get locations as far from other bees as possible and then be constantly on the watch for it. At the time of my visit En- gle was treating a few colonies where it was of recent development. It is never allowed to advance far in anj colony. The colony is treated before it becomes weakened, this making a minimum of loss with each case. His method was to shake the bees with queen onto full sheets of foundation.
