W. Z. II. 



Pennsylvania Bee-Keepers' Summer 

 Meeting. 



This was held at Reynoldsville, Pa., 

 July 11 and 12. The following demon- 

 strations were given : Handling bees 

 in practical work arid apiary inspection ; 

 Handling bees for exhibition ; Illus- 

 trated lecture on late developments in 

 apiaculture; Detection and cure of foul 

 brood; Transferring from a box to a 

 movable-comb hive. 



Pennsylvania bee-keepers liave just 

 secured a foul brood law which was 

 turned down two and four years ago. 



In one of the resolutions of the con- 

 vention the members refer to the for- 

 mer editor of the Review, Mr. W. Z. 

 Hutchinson, as an indefatigable worker 

 and speak of his services to mankind 

 and to the bee-keeping world. They 

 sincere!}' regret his loss and extend 

 their sympathy to ]\Irs. Hutchinson. 



Dr. Harvey W. Wiley. 



It would be hard to estimate the 

 amount of good that has been done the 

 bee-keepers by the work of Dr. Wiley. 



Only a few years ago wc could find 

 our sujres full of mixtures sold to the 

 public as honey. In Michigan at least 

 it would be hard to find any today. 

 '1 his has been lirought about by our 

 pure food laws, which have come 

 al)out by the excellent work of Dr. 

 Wiley. 



When the "interests" undertook to 

 bring about his removal as Chief of 

 the Bureau of Chemistry, they cer- 

 tainly struck a "bees' nest," as shown 

 in the cartoon. Let us be glad that 

 such was the case.

Died From Bee Sting. 



The Rev. Geo. W. Fuller, of Sykes- 

 \ille. Pa., sends me a clipping from 

 the Sykesville Post-Dispatch, telling of 

 a man killed by one bee sting. As 

 the circumstance is rather peculiar I 

 give the item here : 



"Philip Dusch. who lives near Lu- 

 thersburg, met death in a most peculiar 

 manner on ^Monday. 



"Death was caused by a bee-sting. 

 Mr. Dusch went out to one of his nu- 

 merous hives to place the cap on, after 

 eating his evening meal, and shortly 

 afterward other members of the fam- 

 ily heard him utter a shriek of pain 

 and ran to his assistance. He had 

 fallen and was carried into the house 

 where medical aid arrived shortly 

 afterward. Mr. Dusch told the mem- 

 bers of the family that he had been 

 stung once on the point of the jaw. 

 Before the doctor arrived he was dead. 



"Examination showed no other sting 

 on his body and the quick action of 

 the poison cannot be explained as Mr. 

 Dusch had worked among the bees for 

 many years and been stung many 

 times. 



"The deceased was 63 years of age 

 and is survived by his wife and a fam- 

 ily of several children. Mrs. William 

 Clark and Mrs. Mary Harder, of Maple 

 avenue, DuBois, are sisters."
