Several state comities high gypsy moth risk areas
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Risk
designation changes m areas
regulated to prevent the artificial
spread of the destructive gypsy
moth have been announced by
plant health officials of the U.S
Department of Agriculture
Greg Rohwer, staff director of
USDA’s Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service, said the
changes reflect new distribution
patterns of the leafeating cater
pillars that stripped 5.1 million
acres of forest, shade and or
namental trees in 1980.
Under federal regulations,
Rohwer said, infested areas are
divided into high-risk, heavily
infested areas and low-risk, more
lightly infested areas.
“Risk,” he said, “is defined in
terms of the possibility of artifical
spread of the moth occurring when
egg masses or other life stages
hitchhike via the movement of
people or goods.”
Rohwer said regulated articles
may move freely between high
risk areas and low-risk areas or
Bees

producing a wildflower honey from
golden rod, wild aster, dutch
clover, alfalfa, raspberries,
dandelion, locust, and fruit
blossoms. The honey is ‘harvested’
in a series of steps
First, the frames are removed
from the supers and the bees are
shaken off Then the wax caps that
seal the honey in the combs are
removed, and the frames are stood
on-end in a machine called an
extractor. This device, which is
turned by hand, draws the honey
away from the wax comb through
centrifugal force.
After the honey is removed, the
frames, complete with wax combs,
are placed back in the hive, and the
process begins again
Even though taking care of his
bees and a few head of livestock
keep the retired bee inspector busy
on his farm, he taices a vacation’
each year to Florida a working
vacation, of course, since he is
helping friend Paul Zeigler

between low-risk areas and
unregulated areas. When moving
from high-risk areas to or through
unregulated areas, however, they
must first be inspected and
treated, if necessary and receive
“pest-free” certification.
High-risk areas now include
most of eastern and southern
Marne, all of New Hampshire
except Coos County; western and
southern Vermont; all of
Massachusetts; all of Rhode
Island; all of Connecticut; eastern
New York and southern New York
as far west as Tompkins and Tioga
Counties plus parts of Chemung,
Monroe and Oneida Counties; all of
New Jersey except Hudson
County; eastern and central
Pennsylvania as far west as
Bradford, Clearfield and Cambria
and Franklin Counties; part of
northeastern and north-central
Maryland: and parts of Isabella
County in Michigan.
Low-Risk areas include parts of
Marne, New Hampshire, Vermont,
New York, New Jersey, Penn-

Brossman explained the bees
would become dormant if they
remained in Berks County over
winter, but in Florida they keep
active and stay in shape. They
travel south in hives strapped shut
and loaded on a truck, making the
trip in October and returning in
tune for the apple blossoms in
Pennsylvania sometime m March
His first trip to Florida in 1938
took 30 hours to drive, he recalled
Now with the better highway
systems, the trip is faster and
more enjoyable
Brossman, like his bees, has
been a hard worker all his life,
keeping the family farm, pur
chased by his father in 1921, in
production As a dedicated
beekeeper, Brossman stresses the
tremendous value of bees.
"Bees are important to
everyone The most important
thing they do is pollination
Without them, what would we
have 9 We’d have no fruit, no food,
nothing,” he concluded, as he
watched his winged ‘factory’
workers slip inside the hive and
shut down for the night

Virginia, North Carolina, Ohio,
Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin
Previously regulated areas in
Maryland, Michigan, New York
and Ohio have been released from
regulations following treatment to
eliminate moth populations and
surveys to confirm that the
treatment was effective.
