NEW CLUB WAS D-T- ORGANIZED LAST Experiment Station; Secretary Mich- igan State Horticultural Society, in the American Bee Journal. The value of the honeybee has not always been realized by fruit growers The whole question of polination Is one that Is not generally well understood. What is necessary to take place in the blossoms before fruit "sets" has not always been appre. elated. Pollination involves, first of all, the transfer of pollen from the stamens to the pistil. have enterMany fruit growers tained the hazy Impression that pollen Is carried from one blossom to another or from one part of the orchard tot another by the wind. This is not the case. Fruit pollen is moist. It Is seldom, If. ever, blown about by wind. Pollen transfer is carried on mainly by Insects, especially honeybees. Last spring a Michigan fruit grow er said to me, "I never see any bees In my orchard and I always have ap ples." He would not be convinced that Insects were responsible for the transfer, of pollen until he had erect ed at his own expense an cage around one of the Mcintosh trees In his orchard. This cage was covered with muslin during the blossoming period to exclude all Insects. He anxiously waited until the muslin could be removed to not the results. Just eight apples "set" upon the trees within the cage, while other trees of equal size In the same row harvested from 12 to 15 bushels per tree. This grower now realizes the Importance of bees and has already provided for 50 colonies to be placed in his orchards next spring. 18-fo- ot for Fruit Sotting In order to have a blossom develop Info a fruit.
