C2o—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, April 25,1981 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 (Continued from Page CI9) 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 r YOUR MILKQUAUTYGUARDIAN..: li i | f I I Mueller HiPerForm is *• m» \ the completely if f^A automatic milk cooling system for progressive dairymen Durable HiPer-Form Model "OH” and "MHL” Milk Coolers feature large radius corners and smooth stainless steel welds for easy cleaning Cooler capacities range from 300 to 6000 gallons With the flip of a switch, Mueller-Matic Automatic Washing System cleans the cooler interior with jet-spray acidified rinse Ask us for details on HiPerForm J) milk coolers JLJ L/ "OH” r-i —USED TANKS —1-1 | I 300 Ga». &Up I FOR MORE INFORMATION.

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- transport bee hives to the orange groves 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 sylvania, Maryland, Delaware, 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.
