Mr. Kildow — The first of August I 

 sent out circular letters to all bee- 

 keepers having disease in their apiaries, 

 asking them to report to me if they had 

 cleaned up, and what method they had 

 used. I got reports from 114; 107 of 

 them stated they had cleaned up as 

 far as they knew; five of them re- 

 ported that they had some yet; two 

 reported they did not know. There 

 are a number of them of course who 

 have not reported yet. Those I will 

 make a special effort to see next year, 

 and to see what they have done, and if 

 they have not done anything I will 

 see that they -get busy. 



If it is not gotten rid of by the time 

 I get around to them next year I will 

 see that they attend to it. By sending 



out this - cijcular letter and getting 

 these reports, it gave me a very good 

 idea of what they have done this year. 



Mr. Pyles^-Did you figure out what 

 it cost per colony? 



Mr. Kildow — I cannot figure that very 

 well. A good deal of my time is spent 

 looking after other things instead of 

 going into the apiary inspecting, be- 

 cause there are so many other things 

 I have to look after besides inspecting. 

 You can tell what it would cost per 

 colony from the expense. 



Mr. Pyles — I figure it will cost 18 

 cents per colony. 



Mr. Dadant — According to this that 

 I have before me, which is last year's 

 report, the number of colonies exam-
