on they would not carry so fast, when only 

 what Ibey would nearly clean up each day 

 would be fed, as the thinned feed is liable to 

 sour in the feeders, if the bees are several 

 days in taking it out. 



This fed-back honey is far more likely to 

 candy or become hard in the comb than that 

 put in the comb at the time it is gathered 

 from the fields. 



When first taken from the hive it looks 

 very nice and attractive; but when cool 

 weather comes on in the fall it assumes a dull, 

 unattractive appearance, thus showing that 

 the honey has hardened in the cells; while 

 comb honey produced in the ordinary way is 

 still liquid, and will keep so from one to three 

 months after the fed-back article has become 

 so hard as to become almost unsalable. — G. M. 

 Doolittle, in (ileanings in Bee-Culture. 



Close Saturdays at 1 p.m. — Our custo- 

 mers and friends will kindly remember that 

 beginning with July 1, for three months we 

 will close our offlee and bee-supply store at 1 

 p.m. on Saturdays. This is our usual custom. 

 Nearly all other firms here liegin the Saturday 

 afternoon closing with May 1st, but we keep 

 open two months later on account of the loteal 

 bee-keepei's who find it more convenient to 

 call Saturday afternoons for bee-supplies. 



National Convention Notice. 



The 34th Annual Convention of the National 

 Bee-Keepers' Association will be held in Los 

 Angeles, Calif., on August IS, 19, and -JO, 

 1903, in Bianchard's Hall, at 235 S. Broadway. 

 The headquarters of the Association during 

 the convention will be at the Natick House, 

 corner of First and Main Streets. 



It is expected that this will be the largest 

 and best convention ever held by the bee- 

 keepers of America. Every one interested in 

 the production of honey should be present, if 

 at all possible. Besides the question-box, 

 which will be one of the special features of 

 the program, the following subjects will be 

 discussed in papers by the prominent bee- 

 keepers mentioned. Afterward a free and 

 full discussion will be had by all in attend- 

 ance who wish to participate. The subjects 

 and men to introduce them are as follows :

 Among Bee-Keepers" by Prof. A. J. Cook, 

 Claremont, Calif. 



'• How to Make Money Producing Extracted 

 Honey," by J. F. Mclntyre, Sespe, Calif. Re- 

 sponse by E. S. Lovesy, Salt Lake City, Utah. 



"The Production and Sale of Chunk 

 Honey," by Homer H. Hyde, Floresville, 

 Texas. Response by C. P. Dadant, Hamilton,

" The Eradication of Foul Brood," by N. E. 

 France, Platteville, Wis. 



" Reminiscences of Bee-Keeping and Bee- 

 Keepers in the Early Days," by A. I. Root. 



There will be reports by the ofBcers. which 

 include Pres. Hutchinson, General Manager 

 France, and Secretary York. 



The California bee-keepers are planning to 

 give all in attendance one of the grandest re- 

 ceptions imaginable on the first evening, Tues- 

 day, Aug. IS. No one will want to miss this 

 feature of the convention. 



It is an opportunity of a lifetime to take 

 the trip to California, as all convention mem- 

 bers can avail themselves of the low railroad 

 rates, as it comes at the time of the Grand 

 Army meeting in San Francisco, and the same 

 rates apply to Los Angeles.

 Dear Sir: — I thought I would let you know as 

 to results of the nucleus sent me. They were 

 placed in 10-frame hives and now they are in 

 fine condition. From one I removed 24 pounds 

 of honey and had to g'ive 6 of them more room, 

 as they were hanging out. They have more 

 than reached my expectations. 



Yours respectfully, E. K. Meredith. 

 Davenport, Iowa, Dec. 31, lOOl. 

 Your queens are fully up to standard. The 

 honey queen that you sent my brother takes the 

 lead. She had a rousing colony when put up 

 for winter. The goldens can be handled with- 

 out smoke or veil. Very truly yours, 



John Thoeming.
