The high cost of buzzing may hare a serious effect on Oregon's seed and fruit crops, the state board of agriculture decided Wed nesday. Members said the increased fees for beekeepers approved by the 19S1 legislature already are bur dening some so that they will drop out of the business. This will work a hardship on orchardists and ag riculturists who depend on bees for pollinization of their crops, it was said. The board suggested that bee keepers, seed growers and horti cultural farmers get together to formulate a policy for consider ation by the next legislature. The higher fees are part of the plan for control and eradication of diseases of bees. The new fees are S3 for registration phis 25 cents per hive, and 25 cents per colony for moving permits. The board said the fees would come close to providing adequate funds for inspection purposes if they were fully collectible and If the bee population remained un changed. Members felt, however, tnat tne numbers will be reduced and out-of-state apiarists will be reluctant to ' ring In bees for pol linization, resulting in a serious reduction of both seed and horti cultural crops.
