"Bees in Colo rado" 



I still have several hundred copies of 

 the souvenir with the above title. The 

 bee-papers and a good many people 

 without visible axes to grind have said 

 it is a valuable and attractive thing. 

 If you should like to have a copy, send 

 me a silver dime or 5 two-cent stamps, 

 and I will mail you a copy. 



" Bees in Colorado " is tlie title of a 48- 

 page and cover pamphlet gotten up to Ijoom 

 the Denver convention. Its author is D. W. 

 Working, the alert secretary of the Colorado 

 State Bee-Keepers' Association. It is beauti- 

 fully illustrated, and printed on enameled 

 paper. It is a credit to Mr. Working, and 

 will be a great help in acquainting those out- 

 side of Colorado with the bee and honey 

 characteristics and opportunites of that 

 State. — American Bee Journal.

the war years, in whioli the consumption was 

 light,); from 1S7U to ls80 it averaged aljout 

 40 pounds per capita; from 1880 to ISilU 50 

 pounds per capita: in 1891 the figure was ()6 

 pounds per capita, and has ranged from tS to 

 08 pounds per capita since that time, the figure 

 for 1001 being 68. 4 pounds. These are the 

 oflicial figures of the Bureau of Statistics of 

 the Treasury Department. They show an in- 

 creased consumption from 8 pounds in 1835 

 to 68 pounds in li»01. 



Considering the rapid growth of that " sweet 

 tooth," this nation would probably be happier 

 —certainly healthier— if it could be gratified 

 largely with honey, instead of so much sugar. 



Sugar for Queen-Cage Candy. 



Confectioners' sugar will not do for queen- 

 cage candy. It should be of the right kind if 

 queens are to be successfully sent through the 

 mails, although it may not be easy to detect at 

 a glance the difference between the right and 

 wrong kind. As to distinguishing the two, 

 Editor Root says in Gleanings in Bee-Cul- 

 ture: 



In general, confectioners' sugar is brought 

 to a finer state of pulverizaliOD than the ordin- 

 ary pulverized sugar. It you examine the 

 former with a glass you will see besides the 

 cane-sugar crystals something else, and that 

 something else is starch. Pulverized sugar 

 should show nothing but minute crystal 

 cubes when examined with a glass of high 

 magnifying power. But there is another way 

 whereby you can detect the starch, and that is 

 by the taste. If you can some time get hold 

 of some confectioners' sugar and a sample of 

 pulverized, taste one and then the other. You 

 will then perceive a difference. There is, still, 

 another difference. Confectioners' sugar has 

 more of a tendency to lump up. While the 

 pulverized will do so to some extent, the other 

 will cling together in chunlcs that have a sort 

 of flaky, brittle feeling. 



Introducing Honey at Agricultural 

 Fairs. 



When the crowd began to increase toward 

 the middle of the day, I produced a quantity 

 of nice white biscuits from my lunch-basket, 

 and with my honey-knife — clean and bright — 

 I cut some of them into slices. I then opened 

 a can of my finest honey and spread a little of 

 it on each slice, using a small silver spoon 

 for the purpose. Everybody was then invited 

 to sample the honey. Hundreds of people un- 

 doubtedly had their first taste of extracted
