Ore., May 25 (U.R) The time has come for farmers to learn about the bees. The season is at hand when clover, alfalfa and vetch seed growers of Oregon are arrang ing to move bees into their fields for pollination purposes. Because bees are necessary for pollination and because it usually is necessary to overstock with bees to get complete pol lination. Apiary Supervisor A. Burr Black of the state depart ment of agriculture outlined the responsibilities of renters and owners of bees today. Demand Exceeds Supply Black said the demand for bees now apparently exceeds the available supply, so some seed growers are buying bees of their own. But past experience shows, Black said, that when farmers don't know about the bees, the bees are apt to be lost from starvation and disease within a year or two. Oregon law requires that the owner or possessor of any lot of bees is responsible for the bees. The courts usually have held that the one in possession of the place on which the bees are located is in possession of the bees if the owner is unknown. So far they haven't devised a means of branding bees, not even with bees wax. Must Show License The law also requires that the owner of bees not located at his home or main place of busi ness keep his apiary posted with his current apiary license num ber or his name and address if the hives are not branded with a registered brand. Oh yes, they can brand the hive. Anyone hiring bees should see that the beekeeper complies with this provision and, for his own pro tection, should know the name Liberty Bell Arrives In County; Bond Men Speak Oregon s Liberty Bell, a near ly exact replica of the famed American Liberty Bell, arrived in Jackson county today and after a tour of schools was to be shown publicly from 4 to 5 p. m. in downtown Ashland and from 5:3U p. m. to 7:45 p. m. at the railroad property at Main and Front streets in Medford. The bell is bemg displayed in many Oregon communities in connection with the Independ ence savings bond drive of the and address of the owner of any bees rented. The department is cooperating with seed growers and beekeep ers to help them get together for their mutual benefit, Black said. But he warned that if dis eases of bees get out of control in any districi, it will be im possible to get any well inform ed beekeeper to move bees into that district. Write For Laws With bees moving from other parts of Oregon and also from Idaho, California and Washing ton into Oregon seed growing areas, it will take the active cooperation of everyone con cerned to keep seed producing areas reasonably free from bee diseases. Black said. Persons buying or hiring bees should write to the department headquarters at Salem for copies of the Oregon laws covering honeybees. It is best to proceed with caution, or you're apt to get stung.
