As Anderson shows the insides of his outbuildings, a major difference between a seed grower and a plant grower is revealed-bees. A typical alfalfa grower plants seed and nurtures the resulting plants, with particular attention to making the plants as large as possible, hence producing the most amount of alfalfa hay. Anderson said an alfalfa seed grower's particular attention is on the pollination of the alfalfa's flowers, which results in the maximum amount of seeds produced. A seed grower applies all of the same ingredients that hay growers use, water, fertilizer - but also bees, specifically alfalfa leafcutter bees. So, alfalfa seed producers have to know how to raise, maintain, and transport bees, which is a detailed and precise science in itself. Anderson said he didn't know anything about bees when he got into the seed producing business four years ago. "The bee lab is a huge asset in learning what we can do to maximize our efforts," Anderson said. One long-term issue that the industry needs help with is managing bees to "return" or to reproduce at a rate that maintains or increases their numbers. Anderson said he gets some return, but never achieves 100 percent or better, so he purchases bees to make up the difference. American seed growers must buy bees from Canada, where their returns can reach 300 percent. Anderson said four years ago he could buy a gallon of bees for $20-$25. Today's price is $100 per gallon. For optimum yields, a grower "applies" five gallons, or 50,000 bees per acre. "With the other expenses, getting a field to produce a crop of seed can cost over $800 per acre. You can see that a big portion of that cost has to do with the bees," Anderson said. Canadian bee producers can hold American seed growers over the barrel (of bees) because they are currently the only source. Again, as basic economic law says, less competition equals higher prices. Pitts-Singer and others are looking to answer why Canada has better success with their return rate of bees, in hopes of creating solutions. The bee lab helps with short-term answers as well. Anderson sold bees to a farmer in Arizona who placed them on one of his fields. When the farmer later checked he couldn't find evidence of those bees on his property and there was an obvious question as to whether those bees were defective. The bee lab examined the trays and concluded that the bees were healthy and they must have found a more appealing area and migrated, thus protecting Anderson's reputation and liability as a bee provider. Anderson has much to deal with to ensure the viability of his operation and the Pollinating Insects Lab's research is crucial to help him maintain a positive bottom line, though he and his son are working on solutions themselves. tri•chol•o•gy SALON modations, and helping them to feel at home here," he said. Yogendhar Surpaneni, a graduate student studying electrical engineering and treasurer of the ISA committee, said he wants to give students a taste of India through culture and food since not everyone has the chance to go to India and experience its culture. According to the ISA website, the association also strives to organize and promote various cultural events to celebrate Indian traditions and festivals, such as, "Holi" - a festival of colors; and provide opportunities for social interactions. Anyone can become a member of the ISA for only $6 per year. Diwali consists of dances, music and authentic Indian food. It is sponsored by the ISA. Patra said the theme for this year's celebration will be the States of India. This theme highlights the spirit of the "unity in diversity" motto that keeps India together. Patra said throughout the night, colorful dance and music forms from different states of India will be showcased. It is also an excellent opportunity to try some of the Indian food available 4Sale WOW 31 /./G1 A2G1 54 No Main Street Smithfield 5 minutes north of Logan 2 Entrees Free Breadsticks & 1 Dessert Logan's newest premier Salon Bridgerland Applied Technology College FREE eye brow wax w/ any Salon service Foundation Scholarship Fundraiser $14.00 www.facebook.com/trichologySALON Expires 11-30-2010 each; $12.00 groups of 10 or more; $16.00 $10 -&.stro 2 for $20.00 Deal November 20 at 7 p.

This year, the ISA plans to donate some of the proceeds from Diwali ticket sales to the charity Colleges Against Cancer - Utah State University Chapter. At the Diwali event, the ISA will be directing a fundraiser for this organization; there will be an information desk for the Colleges Against Cancer. "Every year the ISA supports a cause by donating some funds to the organization and also tries to promote the cause through the events conducted by the ISA," Surpaneni said. "There will also be presentations given by members of their organization during the main event to help them promote their cause." Diwali is Saturday, Nov. 6. Tickets can be purchased at a table on the first floor of the TSC, Nov. 1-3 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m or by calling Vipin Reddy at 314378-6897. The event will be held in the TSC ballroom, beginning at 5:30 p.m. For more information visit www.usu. edu/isa or room 313 in the TSC. - tam.r@aggiemail.usu.edu \--T1115 N. 200 E.
