D2o—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, August 8,1981
Sweet time awaits fair visitors
GAITHERSBURG, Md - Visitors
at the 1981 Montgomery County
Fair, August 24-29, will have an
opportunity to learn about the
various ways bees contribute to
agribusiness.
Indirectly, bees perform an
invaluable function in the
pollination of many crops and
plants.
Directly, products from bees are
used in the production of many
valuable economic goods.
“Bees are critical to
agribusiness as many crops are
dependent upon them for
pollination m order to produce
fertile seeds,” says Arthur Strang,
superintendent of the Honey and
Beeswax department.
•'Crop yield can be drastically
reduced if there aren’t enough bees
for pollination. Many farmers
throughout the world rent colonies
of bees to ensure the best possible
harvest ”
Honey is used m many food
products, cosmetics and medicine.
Many people prefer honey as a
natural sweetener as an alter
native to sugar.
Honey lovers will have an op
portunity to buy some of the finest
honey produced at the fair.
Beeswax is used widely in a
variety of ways, including candle

making.
Among the various displays in
the Honey and Beeswax Depart
ment is an educational layout with
pictures of worker bees and
illustrations of the honey-making
process. The display depicts the
complex process bees must go
through to produce honey from
constructing the honeycomb,
gathering nectar from flowers to
the final stage ot manufacturing
the honey.
A replica of a 200-year-old dome
shaped skep (beehive) discovered
in a Monastery in Europe also will
be on display.
Early beekeepers used twisted
straw to construct skeps which
were about 2 feet high. Upon
completion, they added a colony of
bees.
Many of the Third World
countries still use this type of skep,
however wooden boxes with slats
are used exclusively in the United
States because the slats can be
icmoved in order to collect the
honey and then replaced for
another crop. Unlike wooden
boxes,the straw skep has to be cut
in order to remove the honey and
another one rebuilt in its place
Any one interested in par
ticipating in the Honey and
Beeswax Exhibit must bring their
entries on Sunday, August 23
between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. For
