Mosquitoes at Sumas Chautauqua Diminish Attendance
The Sumas Chautauqua faced heavy mosquitoes during the event, yet turnout remained fair and attendees paid an extra $5.55 each to cover a small deficit. Organizers blamed the insect on lower-than-expected results but noted the program was enjoyed despite the bite season difficulties.
Honey Production Notes From Bee Science Bulletin
The text explains how bees maximize honey output by not forcing comb building and by quickly storing honey after combs are emptied. It cites USDA Bulletin No. 685, Honeybees and Honey Production in the United States, as a valuable resource for beekeepers, noting additional beekeeping bulletins are available from the department.
