THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 



Oct. 6. 1904. 



My plan would be to let them alone. 



6. I put my bees in the cellar with covers sealed down ; 

 but they have entrances full-width two inches deep. With 

 very small entrances there should be upward ventilation. . 



TEXAS CONVENTION— Continued from page 68i. 



vegetables is to elect a man and pay his way to see that the 

 express commissioners and managers do recognize us, our 

 business, and our convention, and bee-keepers ought to help 

 this man and stand by him.

 On Statistics : 



Reported that the members oresent at the last days' meet- 

 ing represented 5,6so colonies of bees. These were from 3.S 

 members. H. H. Hyde, Committee. 



It was decided to get up the statistics of all the members 

 of the Association as soon as it could be done. 



As a committee for next meeting's program, F. L. Aten 

 was appointed. 



The following were appointed as a committee to go to St. 

 Louis to represent the Texas bee-keepers, and request the Na- 

 tional to meet in Texas next year : L. H. Scholl, D. Krebs, 

 H. H. Hyde. 



Thus was closed one of the most important meetings o{ 

 the Texas Bee-Keepers' Association during its history. Every 

 bee-keeper present was well pleased with the time that he 

 spent here during the meeting of the great Farmers' Congress. 



Between sessions inspections of the diiTerent departments 

 of the College were made. The apiary was visited by many, 

 and the bees were examined by those interested. Others went 

 through the honey-house, which is one of the best for the pur- 

 pose in the country. 



Here, also, can be seen all the appliances and the different 

 styles of hives used in bee-keeping, both new and old. Differ- 

 ent races of bees are kept in the apiary, as well as different 

 arrangements of hives and supers. 



The associations that were represented at the meeting, and 

 who sent delegates, are as follows : 



North Texas Bee-Keepers' Association, W. H. White. 

 South Texas Bee-Keepers' Association, Willie Atchley. 

 Southwest Texas Bee-Keepers' Association, H. H. Hyde. 

 Texas Honey-Producers' .Association. W. E. 

 Nueces Valley Bee-Keepers' Association, W. H. Laws. 

 Bexar County Bee-Keepers' Association, Udo Toepper- 



weiii. 

 The Pan-Handle Bee-Keepers, J. E. Lutz. 

 The honey and bee exhibit was very fine. There were 

 prizes awarded to the exhibitors, consisting of blue rib- 

 bons for first, and red ribbons for second premium.

Bees Doing Very Well. 



My bees are doing very well this sea- 

 son. I had two colonies in the spring, 

 and increased to 3. I had several 

 swarms, but always returned them in 

 order to retain the surplus. I will get 

 over ISO pounds of extracted honey, 

 and I had about 20 well-filled sections. 



I read the American Bee Journal 

 with interest, and I regard it as a 

 great assistance to an amateur bee- 

 keeper. C. D. S.

Heavy Rains Good fop the Honey 

 Crop. 



It commenced to rain in northern 

 and central California on the 22d, and 

 never have such rains fallen so early 

 in the season. This is the third day, 

 and the end seems not in sight. In 

 this city, last evening, there was quite 

 a thunder storm, with the brightest 

 kind of lightning. Much damage will 

 be done to grapes and some other 

 fruits; also to hay, grain, beans and 

 other crops yet in the fields. Bees will
