being that the honey-bees are largely instru- 

 mental in the fertilization of the blossoms, 

 thus giving the farmer a good crop of seed for 

 future use and sale, for its use in reseeding 

 his meadows and pastures is so essential to 

 the growing of farm stock of almost all kinds. 

 The buckwheat crop is also much improved 

 by the work of our bees. The fruit-grower is 

 largely helped in securing ol better crops of 

 fruit bv the aid of the bees. 



The "bee-keeper needs such a law as a just 

 protection to his property and to its very per- 

 petuity. Thus it will be seen that, from a 

 narrow view, three classes of our people are 

 in need of a foul Ijrood law— the farmer, the 

 fruit-grower, and the bee-keeper. If this 

 dread disease is allowed to go unchecked very 

 few bees may be left to do the much-needed 

 work for those above-named. 



Our State needs such a law, and that 

 badlv. As bee-keepers we should now be 

 fully awake and shower our law-makers with 

 letters asking their earnest support. 



I have at hand a letter from our representa- 

 tive, Hon. W. W. Gillespie, stating, as one of 

 the House Committee, that the bill had been 

 read and recommended by the Committee, 

 that it do pass. This is encouraging so far. 

 He also said he would do all he could to 

 secure its passage. F. A. Sxell.

The Hamilton Co., Ohio, Association. 



It has been frequently urged in the bee- 

 journals that one of the pressing necessities 

 of the times is the enactment of a law in 

 every State of the Union to protect the apiary 

 from the ravages of foul brood. 



It is to be regretted that so large and im- 

 portant a State as Ohio has no such law on its 

 statute books, yet from Government statistics 

 it produces more honey than the State of Colo- 

 rado : its bee-keepers are more equally distri- 

 buted over the State, and the consumption of 

 honey in its manufacturing industries is so 

 extensive that other States have to be drawn 

 on for supplies to meet the demand. 



A number of bee-keepers in Cincinnati, and 

 adioining surburbs in the county of Hamil- 

 ton, held a meeting last August and formed 

 an organization called the ■• Hamilton County 

 Bee-Keepers' Association,'' the first of its 

 kind, exclusively in the State, with a member- 

 ship of .50. and at each monthly meeting of 

 the executive committee new members are be- 

 ing enrolled, and from alt indications, where 

 the constitution and objects of the association 

 are fuUv understood by bee-keepers, still 

 greater accessions to its ranks are expected, 

 as in this county there are upwards of dOO bee- 

 keepers. . , , 

 The executive committee feel gratihed ana 

 enthusiastic at the result of their preliminary 

 efforts They would strongly urge through 

 the medium of the American Bee .Journal, 

 that similar initiative steps be taken in each 

 of the ^-^ counties in the State, as early as pos- 

 sible this spring, so that this association may 

 have a united support in demanding of the 

 Legislature, through their delegates, the en- 

 actment of laws for the suppression of foul 

 brood as it is enjovedby California, Colorado, 

 Wisconsin, New York, Michigan, Florida, etc.

Producer's Name on Honey. 



In reading the article by P. D. .Jones, and 

 vour replv. on page S3, I was very much im- 

 pressed with the seriousness of this vital 

 que'^stion, and I think we need an intelligent 

 adjustment of this matter. I wish to register 

 mv protest along with that of Mr. Jones. 1, 

 like him, with considerable skill and pains- 

 taking produce considerable comb honey, 

 and according to grade. I am willing to stand 

 back of every pound with my own name. 1 

 sell mv honev in a wholesale way, very often 

 the whole crop to a single concern, with each 

 section stamped, and so far they seem to pre- 

 fer it that wav ; in fact, this year I was asked 

 to stamp my honey, and I know they do not 

 erase the name, tjecause I have a great many 

 letters from dealers who say they saw my 

 honey, and asking quotations on honey. Of
