From 1 St. Johns 'shape-up' spurned by Guinness Western Michigan rescinds fees hike keepers keep more than half the state's 100,000 bee colonies, Hoo-pingamear said. The average colony houses 40,000 bees, and commercial keepers move 20,000 to 30,000 colonies each year.

Individuals and companies that keep bees must register them with the plant industry division of the state Department of Agriculture. There are 4,000 to 5,000 amateur or non-commercial beekeepers in Michigan. Farmers typically "rent" enough bees to pollinate a given area of crop growth each spring. A single keeper with a large number of colonies may have bees working several farms at once, at charges that average about $25 per colony per acre, Hoopingamear said. Fanners once could depend oh wild bees to do their pollinating for them, but destruction of habitat and increased use of pesticides has reduced the number and effectiveness of wild bees.

With that in mind, farmers must be very careful about using insecticides while employing bees, said Hoopingamear, who has been a beekeeper for more than 35 years, 25 of them at MSU. While beekeeping may be one of the last bastions agriculture, noted that it too has entered the computer age. "We've been working on a systems model to maximize (the bees') use," he said. "We've actually developed a computer program for Red Delicious apples to tell us when is the best time to remove the bees. We're pretty close to implementation.

I'd say about a year away." By BETTY JANE MINSKY Lansing State Journal ST. JOHNS Guinness World Book of Record officials in New York were not much interested in what is being billed as the "world's largest outdoor aerobic exercise class." The 20-minute workout, dubbed a "Peppy-Mint Shape-Up" will be held at the St. Johns High School football field today at 6:30 p.m. The $2 donation will be split between the Community Resource Volunteers and the Chamber of Commerce Mint Festival. Five women, all exercisedance instructors at Dynamic Fit Stop in St.

Johns, thought the outdoor class could be fun and raise money for two organizations they feel are worthy. Marilyn Mead, Tracy Shutes, Vicki Flynn, Michele Zefenski and Jenny Bennett say they are putting together a routine for everyone. "We want entire families to come. Anyone who can't exercise is invited to come and cheer the others on. We want to overflow that football field," Mead said.

"When I called Guinness, they said they don't even have an aerobic exercise category," she added. "I asked about starting one. They said they doubted there was much interest in aerobic exercise events. I told them they were crazy; that aerobic exercise is the way of '80s." The women will take a head count and send documented information to Guinness anyhow. main intact, Matthews said.

"This means tuition for Michigan undergraduates at Western Michigan remains the same for two consecutive years," Matthews said. "It certainly takes into consideration what the governor's preference had been." The decision to hold the special meeting was made Friday, Matthews said. The rescinded tuition increase is contingent upon Blanchard approving the state budget package that includes a 12.4 percent increase for Western Michigan, the spokesman added. Wayne State University, East-em Michigan University, Grand Valley State Colleges and FeiTis State University already have agreed to tuition restraints and Oakland University officials rescinded a 5.2 percent tuition increase. Thursday, the governor said.

Blanchard has until Aug. 1 to sign the $970.4 million higher education budget bill for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1. Associated Press ANN ARBOR Western Michigan University's trustees on Saturday rescinded a 4.9 percent resident undergraduate tuition increase approved in June, a spokesman said. The move complies with a request made Friday by Gov.

James Blanchard that state universities and colleges hold the line on tuition if they expect to collect increased state aid in the 1986 budget. Meeting in special session in Ann Arbor, the Kalamazoo school's board of trustees agreed to return resident undergraduate rates to $43.50 per credit hour for freshman and sophomores and $48 for juniors and seniors, said Michael J. Matthews, Western's director of public information. On June 21, the trustees had raised those rates to $45.75 for un- derclassmen and $50.50 for upper I classmen. Similar tuition increases approved that day for out-of-state and graduate students re Deaths and Funerals McCANN, AUBREY C.
