     An experiment was conducted to assess the potency of
     various constituents of orchard sprays in repelling
     honeybees.  Individual cells of dry comb were filled
     with measured amounts of lime sulphur emulsion in
     sucrose solution.  Seven different concentrations of
     lime sulphur ranging from a concentration of 1/100 to
     1/1,562,500 in succesive factors of 1/5 were used as
     well as a solution containing no lime sulphur.

     The responses for the different solutions were obtained
     by releasing 100 bees into the chamber for two hours,
     and then measuring the decrease in volume of the solu-
     tions in the various cells.

     An 8x8 Latin Square design was used and the treatments
     were coded as follows:

      A     highest level of lime sulphur
      B     next highest level of lime sulphur
      .
      .
      .
      G     lowest level of lime sulphur
      H     no lime sulphur
