C2—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, April 2,1983 Pa. is high WASHINGTON, D.C. USDA plant protection officials are revising the areas regulated for the tree stripping gypsy moth, to keep it from moving to new areas of the country. Gary Moorehead, a plant protection officer with USDA’s Animal and Plant Health In spection Service, said the revisions reflect changes in the spread and distribution of the gypsy moth during the 1982 summer season when gypsy moth caterpillars defoliated about 8 million acres, down from the 13 million i acres stripped in 1961. The changes also reflect suppression efforts on infestations distant from the generally infested northeastern states. Moorehead said gypsy moth regulations designate areas as “high risk” and “low risk.” The level of rish reflects the moth population and the possibility of people carrying gypsy moth egg masses, cater pillars, pupae or adults to uninfested areas on certain products or articles. Because egg masses have reached a level of 50 per acre, areas in Delaware, Maryland, New York and Pen sylvania that were low risk areas have been redesignated as high risk. Also, some low risk areas in Maine, Michigan, Virginia and Washington have been expanded. Under USDA rules, regulated articles may move freely between high-risk and low-risk areas, and, unless determined otherwise by an inspector, bet- COAL y BURNING STOVE... ~ Z. /*?%> '*?

Winter was easier on Md. bees ANNAPOLIS, Md. - The past winter was a kind one to the state’s bee colonies says I. Barton Smith, Jr., Supervisor of the Maryland Department of Agriculture’s Apiary Inspection Program. This is in sharp contrast to the previous winter which killed off as many as 20 percent of the state’s honey bee colonies. In addition to milder winter weather this past season, the Fall “honey flow” in 1962 provided a much better food source for the overwintering bees than did the drought-reduced honey flow of Fall, 1961. Proof of the good honey flow comes also in the form of increased honey production for 1962, which is now believed to be well up over the 1981 honey crop of 390,000 pounds, according to Smith. - Beekeeping for fun and profit is an expanding industry 'in Maryland as Smith’s registration figures for 1982 show a 6 percent increase in the number of colonies registered. Figures show that there were 2,106 registered beekeepers in Maryland during 1962 and they bad some 14,691 colonies of bees. Maryland law requires that all I PAUL B.
