Under the proper conditions, it is believed that considerable progress in beekeeping can be made in these areas. (Data compiled by authors with the assistance of A. W. Sampson, Plant Ecologist, California Agricultural Experiment Station.) A check list of scientific plant names is given in table 34. 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.
