Ontario Beekeepers to Meet in To- 

 ronto in December The Ontario Bee- 

 keepers' Association will hold its an- 

 nual convention on Tuesday, Wednes- 

 day and Thursday, Dec. 12, 13, and 14, 

 in Toronto. This later date than usual 

 will be welcomed by the beekeepers, as 

 the great rush of .fall apiary work will 

 be over. 



A very interesting program, extremely 

 practical, has been arranged by the ex- 

 ecutive committee. Prominent bee- 

 keepers from both Canada and United 

 States will be present. Mr. C. P. Da- 

 dant, of Hamilton, 111., Editor of the 

 American Bee Journal, will take up the 

 question of " Prevention of Natural 

 Swarming." Mr. Dadant is an exten- 

 sive hcpney producer, and has harvested 

 over 100,000 pounds of honey this past 

 season. The Dominion Apiarist, Mr. 



F. W. L. Sladen, in charge of the Bee 

 Investigation work on the various ex- 

 perimental farms, will speak of some 

 line of his investigations. "Beeswax 

 Production " will be discussed by Mr. 

 W. A. Chrysler, of Chatham, and Mr. 



G. A. Deadman, of Brussels, will deal 

 with " The use of shallow supers in 

 connection with the regular size." 

 Comb honey has been successfully 

 produced by Mr. S. B. Bisbee, of Beams- 

 ville, and his experiences will be val- 

 uable and interesting. Special apiary 

 appliances will be explained by Mr. E. 

 T. Bainard, of Lambeth, and Mr. W. J. 

 Craig, of Brantford. 



Of special interest from the social 

 side of the convention will be the ban- 

 quet on Wednesday evening, at which 

 Mr. Couse will speak of the "Past 

 Presidents of the Ontario Beekeepers' 

 Association." Mr. Couse has been a 

 member continuously since the associa- 

 tion was organized, and for many years 

 held prominent positions on the ex- 

 ecutive committee. His personal ac- 

 quaintance with the past presidents en- 

 ables him to handle his subject in a 

 very interesting and able manner. 



The program will be ready for dis- 

 tribution shortly, and may be had by 

 applying to the secretary-treasurer.
