It is still contended that bees do not injure grapes or other fruits. It is not denied that they eat the fruit, but *' something" else must puncture the skin to enable them to do so. If the " puncture" does not hurt the fruit, only permits the grape to be eaten that would otherwise not be eaten, we do not see much value in the argument. In this neighborhood we know of vines that have had their whole product carried away by bees, only those bunches being saved to the grower that were enclosed in bags. It is not how the " puncture " is caused that worries the grape grower here - it is the actual carrying off of the fruit that troubles him so sorely.
