Lately, Max traveled to Kaysville to tell the third grade elementary kids about bees. Grandson Bo Poulson arranged the treat. Max displayed a frame of honey, a hive, pollen and a jar of drones. He told them that by Elizabeth Hanson Take a lesson from the bees. They know what to do and they do it. Max Fenn, retiring apiculturist for the Castle Dale Region Welfare Project, has been four years on the job as the e employee, but only now he is training Robert Homer of Emery to take his place while planning to retire to the farm. Max and wife, Julia, own a custom-builog home in the and another of Lawrence heart 120 acres in nearby Buffalo country, 15 cows with calves, and three horses, Blacky, Blue and Princess. He keeps a few hives of bees at his home and will still be donning the beekeeping duds from time to time. Hell full-tim- worker bees are born knowing what to do. They scout for food and water and come back dancing the directions. Then the gang heads for the dandelions, the clover, the alfalfa, lt probably need to help his cessor for awhile, as well. The bees are such gum-wee- d, rabbit brush, desert flowers or whatever is blooming and suck the nectar into honey stomach and fly back to the hive. As the bee sucks the nectar into its mouth, a chemical from its head glands is added. The chemical turns the nectar into honey after it has been put into a cell and sealed. Workers make wax from glands in their abdomens, and they make royal sucin- teresting little creatures. I dont he said.

They are only good for mating with the queen. After the honey flow is over in the fall, the drones are allowed to starve to death. Bees are dosed twice a year with Terramycin to prevent a disease called foul brood. If a bee inspector found the disease, he would just set fire to the hives, says Max who takes pain to safeguard the health of his charges. He stays away from the hives on cloudy, stormy days because the bees stay home in bad weather and are angered by the interference of the conniving human. After they have winged away into the sunshine after nectar, that is the best time to remove the honeycomb. Bees bring pollen into the hive on their hind legs. A screen scrapes the pollen off into a basket. While the shaded yellow and orange pollen tastes acrid, it is highly prized as a health food. Bees use it to mix with honey to feed the young. After the frames are brought into the honey house along the Orangeville road Wilberg Mine intersection, the frames are put into an uncapping machine where a centrifugal extractor separates wax from honey. The honey is pumped into a settling tank for 38 hours before being pumped into vats and canned. The payoff says Max is pale amber product flow into a can, putting on the lid and the colorful label. Right now the honey is available for purchase in five pound, gallon, two gallon, and four gallon cans. Some 24,000 pounds awaits takers, says Max, because the welfare quota this year was only 20,000 pounds in comparison to last years watching -- tt? 610 West Price River Drive Price CHRISTMAS IS FOR KIDS i Infants' Pants x Assorted colors in sizes 6 to 24 mos Infants' Shirts Jr material.

Last year Max estimated that around 400 volunteer hours per month were used, especially while extraction is in swing. Throughout the winter, men are kept busy repairing and making boxes. Not until the extracting is complete can the place be washed down. The slightest drop of moisture could contaminate the honey. Max was born at Thatcher, Ariz. on July 10, 1918.
