Stephen, Bee keeper for the State College Ex tension Service said this week. "Honey and bees are the prod ucts of honeybees," Stephen said, "but befcs do much more"than haT v.est nectar and make wax. Their help in the production of seed and fruit by pollination is invaluable." Mr. Stephen disclosed that un fortunately, bees are killed in some localities because posionous insect cides are applied to open blooms where the bees feed. As a result, he said, the bees may die before reaching home, or may carry home posioned food fdr other bees in the hive. In this manner, the colonies are weakened to such an extent that many die out completely.
