THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW. 



13 



Following the lead of Bro. York, we 

 have obtained permission from the board 

 of directors of our public schools in Hig- 

 ginsville, to address the scholars on the 

 subject of bee-keeping. We will procure 

 a hall that will seat all the children and 

 the teachers, and each teacher, some 

 afternoon iti November, will bring his or 

 her pupils to this hall where the address 

 will be delivered. 



I believe we as bee-keepers and honey- 

 producers owe Bro. York a vote of thanks 

 for inaugurating such a course. Such 



to have a taste of the delicious sweet; and 

 perhaps at the same time incidentally 

 mention that certain parties, or certain 

 business places, have this delicious sweet 

 for sale; and a few sample copies of the 

 different bee journals could be distributed 

 were it not for the lear that some of our 

 fraternity would feel sad because of the 

 possibility of inducing others to join our 

 "overcrowded ranks," and so increase 

 the supply and decrease the demand for 

 and price of our products.

lectures may be valuable in more ways 

 than one; "blessing those who give and 

 those who take." Those who listen will 

 receive something of real and lasting ben- 

 efit, and those who give will have the 

 consciousness of at least attempting to 

 "do good to others," which is a virtue, 

 and "virtue is its own reward." The 

 parents of the children, and others, 

 might in some localities (for localities 

 differ) be invited to attend these lectures. 

 To some of the listeners large drawings 

 of the most important parts of the bee 

 would be of interest and value. 



If the person giving the address is 

 either a honey producer or dealer in hon- 

 ey, he could add nmch interest to the 

 address by having nice honey on exhibi- 

 tion; and perhaps some in such shape as 

 to allow those who seem most interested 



CONSIDER WELI- THE LOCAI,TTY. 

 In the November nnmber of the Pro- 

 gressive, editor Doolittle seems disposed 

 to make sport of my using the word "lo- 

 calit)'" so often; for in referring to some- 

 thing that that prince of writers among 

 bee-keepers, Mr. R. C. Akin, has said, ye 

 editor says, "And for the reason he, like 

 Dr. Mason, is shouting "Aof«/zX>'.'" Well, 

 all I have to say is that Doolittle has 

 largely ceased unqueening, but instead of 

 shouting,. "Locality! Locality!'''' Doo- 

 little is shouting, " Hosts of bees ~ivhen any 

 and all honey Jhnvs arc on, lots of section 

 honey, and no Stcarniin^-.'" and that right 

 in the old locality where he has kept bees 

 for the last thirty years. I don't quote 

 what editor Doolittle says for the pur- 

 pose of trying to show, or convince, him 

 that localities differ, but for the purpose of
