Heavy Eating Bees Must Be Well Fed
W J DRYDEN explains bees store honey and pollen for winter. A 10 pound colony needs about 60 pounds of honey and four or five combs of pollen yearly. Sugar syrup can feed bees after fall honey flow ends. If pollen runs short, soybean flour can be fed on top of frames. A can of sugar syrup may be placed in each hive when housing new bees.
Flea Beetle Control Must Be Started Now
Flea beetles feed and breed on weeds related to garden crops. They winter as adults under leaves and in garden debris, then move to plant areas. Control relies on weed removal and preventing trash accumulation. calcium arsenate arsenate of lead lime dust rotenone and pyrethrum dusts are effective sprays or dusts.

Rhode Island station tests show 25 pounds of dry ice per 100 cubic feet in tightly closed storage spaces with electric fans. The frosty method creates about a 20 percent carbon dioxide level, sufficient to kill rats and mice present.
