Successful Commercial Beekeeping, R S. Coleman

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

THE eye of the master fattens the cattle. One of the oldest farming proverbs this is as true of bee-keeping as any other branch of farming.

Careful husbandry is the basis of all successful bee-keeping; anything else is secondary.

THIS species was originally named by W. V. Fitzgerald from specimens which he obtained from near Pingelly in November, 1903.

The name accedens is from the Latin accedo—to approach or come near—and is here used in reference to the supposed close approach of the tree to the common wandoo (Eucalyptus redunca var. elata).

Influence Of Logging On Douglas Fir Beetle Populations, R R. Lejeune, L H. Mcmullen, M D. Atkins

The Bark Beetles, Fuels, and Fire Bibliography

All species of bark beetles of economic importance prefer to attack freshly-killed host material. Logging slash, wind-throw, and fire-killed timber provide ideal breeding grounds for bark beetles. A few species, mostly in the Dendroctonus group, are able to kill living trees. When beetles in the group, raised in preferred host material, cannot find any or enough freshly-killed trees, logs, or slash to enter, they may attack living trees. In the interior of British Columbia, infestations of the Douglas fir beetle can often be traced to logging disturbance.
