hives, outer covering or tenement liives. but 

 by whatever method he has done to the best 

 of hisability. Now if a heavy loss occurs 

 what is he to do. blame Providence or the 

 natural laws of Nature? All weaklings do 

 this. Should he blame himself ? Was he to 

 blame? Who really knows the true cause 

 of winter loss ? If there be such a man. let 

 him not hide his light under a bushel. We 

 bee-keepers are awaiting the man who can 

 showus. 



I do not know, and I am not from Missouri, 

 but I have confidence in Dr. Phillips, as I 

 have confidence in his Bureau. The bee- 

 keeping world worked over the cause of 

 foul brood for many years— yet it was the 

 Bureau of Entomology, conducted by Dr. 

 Phillips, who ran the true bacillus to its lair. 

 and we now know the bacteriological cause 

 of foul brood. If Dr. Phillips thinks he can 

 overcome the excessive winter losses of 

 bees, the bee-keepers should be with him to 

 a man. This work is no work for tl-e lay- 

 man; it necessarily will take months or 

 years of hard study and work. It is likely 

 that not one thing is the cause of winter 

 loss, but many. 



The individual bee-keeper has neither the 

 ability, time, nor the money necessary to 

 conduct such a work, and we should thank 

 our stars we have such a progressive head 

 working for us at Washington. I do not 

 think the bee-keepers at large realize the 

 good work which has been done for us by 

 this Bureau. Those who do should acknowl- 

 edge the fact by writini; to the Department 

 of Agriculture, to commend the good work 

 accomplished by the Bureau of Entomology 

 in behalf of apiculture. •
