Abstract
Experiments on second crop red clover seed yields at various distances from honey bee colonies carried out in Greene County, Iowa, from 1951 to 1953, inclusive, gave the following results: 1. Differences in seed yields at 100-foot intervals from honey bee colony sites during the 3-year period were significant at the 1% level of probability. 2. In 1951 and 1952 the difference in seed yield within the 100- to 400-foot range from the colonies compared with the yield in the remainder of the field was significant at the 1% level of probability. Larger seed yields occurred within the 100- to 400- foot range.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
