In all, all, letters went to 4604 schools, as well rs to 1500 Parent Teacher Associations. The letters stressed potential savings to families through correct usage of seeds, fertilizer and pesticides. Shelhamer said a savings of up to $250 was possible for the average Pennsylvania family par ticipating in the program. The Agriculture Secretary also said that personnel from his department’s Bureau of Plant Industry would furnish information on en vironmentally safe and agriculturally sound practices in the use of pesticides to those taking part jn this year’s program.

He added that in some cases, land at state institutions may be made available for use by gar deners at no cost. Shelhamer cited the hard Winter of 1977 as reason enough for more Penn sylvanians to take an in terest in anti-inflation gardening. He also praised the Department of Education and Acting Secretary Hendershot for “responding quickly and effectively in our cooperative effort to make the Governor’s program more wide-reaching and beneficial to Commonwealth residents” TRY A CLASSIFIED AD! Apiculturist takes African bee lightly By LAUREL SCHAEFFER Berks County Reporter WERNERSVILLE, Pa. - With Spring having arrived, the presence of honey bees will become more evident, and with this" there will probably be more concern about the often publicized African bee (A. adansonii). Walter Bucks, part-time apiculturist with 80 hives, feels this concern is un justified and has been taken out of proportion. “African bee semen has been in our country for approximately 17 years,” he notes.

He will be the first to admit however, that when African queen bees were first ac cidently freed in Brazil in 1956 there was great alarm. The bees produced by those queens were much more aggressive than the present domestic strains. But over the years the Brazilian apiculturists have learned to deal with the situation successfully, Bucks claims. Through breeding programs the beekeepers If aggressive bees do have found ways to produce happen to migrate north more docile bees when from Brazil, Bucks feelj crossing the “Africanized certain that they can be dealt bees” with less aggressive with before they pose am strains. Some of these more problems than the bees apiculturists do admit, being raised now. Con. however, that they have had turning, Bucks said, “Let’s to change some of their not forget the isolated cases handling techniques. where domestic bees have Bucks told Lancaster been known to cause severe Farming that the same is problems to a few people true with the few already." Some people have “Africanized bees” already acute allergic reations to bee found in our country. These stings as with everything bees havq been crossed with else.
