Putting the 'Bee' In Cranberries (Reprinted with special permission from "Report from Rutgers," publication of the State University of New Jersey.) OREGON Cold Spring, Rain Short It has been a cold spring here, with consequent little advancement of the coming crop. There were A busy Rutgers scientist and millions of even busier bees make up a brains-plus-brawn combina- tion that could have meant New Jersey's big'gest cranberry crop in history this fall—and a long-term outlook for cranberry production as dazzling at the iridesence of the wings of the bees themselves. The bees did their part, but the weatherman didn't. The heaviest 'set' of blossoms in the history of the Jersey cranberry business was lost by the dry weather and the encouragement it gave to a cran- berry blight called 'scald'. Entomologist Robert S. Filmer of the State University's Agricul- tural Experiment Station is the man whose continuing research showed that the low 16-barrel-per- acre Jersey crop (Massachusetts gets 27, Wisconsin 54) was pri- marily due to sub-par pollination of the cranberry blossoms by the honey bees who do man this favor.
