THE BEST THERE IS. 



Beekeepers, like all other fair dealing people, want the BEST of goods, the BEST of 

 service in filling their orders, the BEST of prices and the BEST of everything connected 

 with getting their Supplies; the VERY BEST that can possibly be given for the money is 

 necessary to give entire satisfaction and what all shoald have. 



To absolutely please bee keepers in filling their wants has been our constant aim for 

 eight years, and while we do not boast about ourselves we are sure that we are excelled by 

 nobody. If you are not already a customer don't fail to write to us and tell ns your wants.

conditions in so far as relates to nat- 

 ural food supply, etc. If such contrary 

 influences are exerted without appar- 

 ent cause during two successive days, 

 it is not improbable that certain years 

 may be, more largely than others, 

 made up of days in which this evil in- 

 fluence predominates. Environments 

 influence humanity very perceptibly.

Yellow Jacket 5tlng Compared with 

 Bee°5tlng. 



I notice with interest Stenog's refer- 

 ence to what Mr. Wathelet, editor of 

 Le Rucher Beige, says about the sting- 

 of the honey-bee. His is identical 

 with a recent experience of my own, 

 although the sting I received was from 

 a yellow jacket, smaller than the bee, 

 and it lasted several days. While the 

 part did not become swollen, there was 

 a painful itching sensation for more 

 than a week ; but had it been the sting 

 of a bee, an entirely different sensa- 

 tion would have been produced, which 

 would have disappeared in five to teo 

 minutes. I found the wasp-nest, broke 

 it up, and secured the queen, the re- 

 mains of whose royal highness I have 

 kept. I feel confident that the poison 

 is quite different from that of the 

 honey-bee, and more virulent. — Wm. 

 M. Whitney, in Gleanings in Bee- 

 Culture. 



Unitah Reservation and Bees, 



The opening of the Unitah Indian 

 reservation is of special interest to the 

 beekeepers of the West, since it will 

 open up a large tract of irrigated terri- 

 tory that will make the finest kind of 

 bee-range. The last Indian appropria- 

 tion bill provided for the opening. The 

 original bill fixed Oct. 1, 1904, as the 

 date of the opening ; but because of 

 the amount of work to be done in mak- 

 ing surveys and allotting lands, the 

 opening was postponed by act of Con- 

 gress until March 30, 1905. 



The Unitah reservation lies in the 

 northeastern part of Utah, in Unitah 

 and Wasatch Counties. In area it com- 

 prises 2,334,000 acres of mountain and 

 valley. In altitude the reservation 

 ranges from 4000 feet in the lower val- 

 leys to 13,000 feet on the summit of the
