The Lower Sonoran Zone is typically represented in the foothills area south of the Kings River in Fresno, Tulare, and Kern counties, but not in the other sections under consideration in the discussion of the bee ranges of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The following rules have been suggested concerning the blossoming dates for honey plants in the bee ranges of the Sierra Nevada :2a (1) for each 1,000-foot increase in elevation the beginning of growth and pos- sibly blossoming28 is delayed 7 to 10 days; (2) plants growing on north and cast exposures begin growth and mature seed (probably blossom) '-*â The authors are Indebted to Arthur W.
