FOURTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE 



Mr. Kildow — No; not necessary, un- 

 less you happen to have a queen you 

 don't like. 



The Italian bee sems to be the better 

 house-keeper; seems to clean up better 

 than the common brown bee; that is 

 the only difference that I can see. 



The Italian seems to be more im- 

 mune than the common bee. 



Mr. Coppin — I do not see any dif- 

 ference in regard to the race of bees. 

 If foul brood is in the yard my opinion 

 is it will get any of them, whether 

 Italian, Carniolan or black bees. 



I have had it among them all (both 

 European and American) and I do not 

 see that the Italian stays clear of it 

 any quicker than the others To get 

 rid of the disease, either the European 



or the American, they have to be 

 treated. 



Question — Which is the best and the 

 quickest way to increase your apiary? 



Mr. Coppin — I would say to have a 

 gcod honey flow. 



Mr. Bruner — Get your bees from the 

 South. 



Mr. Burnett — I move we adjourn 

 sine die. 



Pres. Kannenberg — Is there a second 

 to that motion? 



A member — Second the motion. 



Pres. Kannenberg — The meeting 

 stands adjourned. 



At 4:30 p. m. the Convention ad- 

 journed to meet at the call of the 

 Executive Committee.
