A Dishonest Queen-Breeder 



Mr. Leslie C. Stewart sent a $i.8o or- 

 der for queens to Win. McKnight, of 

 Elaniville, Ala., early in the season. But 

 he never received the queens, nor the 

 return of his money. If others of our 

 subscribers have been treated in a simi- 

 lar way by McKnight, who advertised 

 queens for sale through the American 

 Bee Journal, we should like to know 

 it. We have no use for fraudulent or 

 dishonest advertisers, and whenever we 

 have been imposed upon we w%nt to 

 lind it out, so as to give them a free 

 advertisement like we are here giving 

 McKnight. 



An Invitation to Readers 



As the time of longer evenings is 

 again arriving, we would like to invite 

 our readers to send in their reports of 

 the season of 1908 with the bees. 



It may be, also, that some have been 

 trying experiments, or have had some 

 things to develop that would be of in- 

 terest to all. If so, we would like to 

 have such write out their experiences 



for publication, and send them in. No 

 doubt what you have read in the Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal has been a great help 

 to you, so why not you add your mite 

 to the general fund of information about 

 b"es' 



Bees Visiting Different Flowers on 

 Same Trip 

 It is s;eiicr;\lly understood that when 

 a bee goes afield it does not visit pro- 

 miscuously different kinds of flowers, 

 Init if it begins on clover it sticks to 

 clover throughout its trip, and similarly 

 of other flowers. The question having 

 been raised in the British Bee Journal 

 wliether there might be exceptions to 

 this rule, Dr. C. C. Miller wrote that 

 journal as follows : 



"Tt so happens that I can help just 

 1 little to settle the question raised by 

 \nur correspondent, S. Jordan. Years 



igo I was sitting idly watching a bee 



it work on the flowers in front of 

 the house, when I was greatly aston- 

 ished to see it fly from one flower to 



mother of an entirely different kind. 



\fter working a short time on this. 

 It returned to the first kind, and later 

 made the change again. At this distance 

 m time I can give no particulars as to 

 circumstances. That is the only ob- 

 servation of the kind made by me in the 

 course of 47 years ; but it is quite pos- 

 sible that to a limited extent the same 

 tiling is going on all the while.
