to the greater appropriation which allowed of more steady employ- 

 ment and continued service to the inspectors. Automobiles used by 

 inspectors arc a decided advantage in the work. Many beekeepers 

 are so far from railroad or electric lines that about the only practi- 

 cal way to reach them is by automobile. 



This year, as formerly, beekeepers were advised how to transfer 

 their bees from box hives to modern hives, how to feed and how to 

 pack their bees for winter, and various other manipulations in mod- 

 ern beekeeping. Some demontrations were made. At every apiary 

 visited by the inspectors instructions were given how to detect and 

 fight foul brood should it occur among the bees. Aside from the 

 regular inspection of their bees, the beekeepers derive considerable 

 benefit from the visits of the inspectors.
