\description{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 solutions in the various cells.
  
  An 8x8 Latin Square design was used and the treatments were coded as
  follows:
  \tabular{rl}{
    A \tab highest level of lime sulphur\cr
    B \tab next highest level of lime sulphur\cr
    . \tab \cr
    . \tab \cr
    . \tab \cr
    G \tab lowest level of lime sulphur\cr
    H \tab no lime sulphur\cr
