Your committee in submitting their report in this class desire to make particular 

 mention of exhibits numbered 126 to 134 inclusive, by Frank Benton, of Detroit, all of 

 ■which (except 132) must be of great practical use to all engaged in the bee business. 

 We recommend a small discretionary premium, but suggest that instead of the pre- 

 miums a diploma be given for each article. The honey is all good, and it has been a 

 diflicult matter for us to decide Avhich is the best. Our first decision on maple sugar 

 was for No. 114 for first premium, but under instructions from the superintendent of 

 this division, we have changed it to No. 76G. The maple syrups are all good, and 

 are worthy of special mention.
