Forty Years Among the Bees, by Dr. 



C. C. Miller. — This book contains 3-'S pages. 

 is pound in handsome cloth, with gold letters 

 and design ; it is printed on best booic-paper, 

 and illustrated with 112 beautiful original 

 half-tone pictures, taken by Dr. Miller him- 

 self. It is uniiiue in this regard. The first 

 few pages are devoted to an interesting bio- 

 graphical sketch of Dr. Miller, telling how he 

 happened to get into bee-keeping. Seventeen 

 years ago he wrote a small book, called ** A 

 Year Among the Bees," but that little work 

 has been out of print for a number of years. 

 While some of the matter used in the former 

 book is found in the new one, it all reads like 

 a good new story of successful bee-keeping 

 by one of the masters, and shows in minutest 

 detail just how Dr. Miller does things with 

 bees. Price, SI. 00.

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 20, 

 1903, in Blanchard's Hall, at 335 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 areas follows: 



" Honey Exchanges and Co-operation 

 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, 

 111. 



"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 officers, which 

 include Pres. Hutchinson, General Manager 

 France, and Secretary York. 



The California Ijee-keepers are planning to 

 give all in attendance one of the grandest re- 

 ceptions imaginable on the first evening, Tues- 

 day, Aug. 18. 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 thj 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.

 may be desired, address the Secretary, 144 E.
