Scientists Ponder
Bees’ Dislike
Of Cotton Nectar
What do bees have against
cotton blossoms?
That’s what scientists at
the University of Arizona are
trying to find out
And the reason they want
to know is a good one if bees
would do the pollinating, hy
brid cotton would be com
mercially feasible and might
result in yield increases up
to 25%
When confined in cages
with cotton blossoms, the
bees will almost starve be
fore complying with at
tempts to get them to cross
pollinate and aid in hybrid
seed production
Already, it has been learn
ed that bees swarm to some
flowers and scorn others be
cause of the presence or ab
sence in the nectar of 13 basic
sugars Some sugars are ac
tually toxic to bees, and
these may exist in cotton nec
tar, scientists say

Q. I am the father of three
boys, all of college age. My prob
lem, aside from the big one of
financing their education, is their
health insurance protection. What
I would like to know is how long
my family policy will continue
protecting my children?
A. Family health insurance pro
tection for your youngsters may
end when they reach age 19 or 21
although some companies will
extend coverage to

You should also
know that health
Insurance protec
tion will end for your youngsters
when they marry or enter the
armed forces. Some policies con
tinue coverage for unmarried, full
time students depending on paren
tal support (and the family-mem
ber provisions of your policy). If
a child at 19 does move out of
your coverage, many colleges pro
vide student group health insur
ance plans included as an item in
college term billing.
Many modern policies, how
ever, contain a conversion pro
vision allowing your youngsters to
obtain their own coverage when
