Forty Years Among the Bees, by Dr. 



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

 is pound in handsome cloth, with gold letters

 year? ago he wrote a small book, called " A 

 Year Among the Bees," but that little work 

 has been out ot print lor a number of years.

 by one of the masters, and shows in minutest 

 detail just how Dr. Miller does things with 

 bees. Price, $1.00.

National Convention Notice. 



The 84th Annuf&l Convention of the National 

 Bee-Keepers' Association will be held in Los 

 Angeles, Calif., on August 18, 19, and 20, 

 1908, in Blanchard'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 : 



"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 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.

M.^RKET QUOTATIONS 





CiiiCAc.c, Aug 7.— Consignments of the new 

 crop are coming to commission houses that 

 have not had honey for years past, and as there 

 is not any consumptive demand thev are find- 

 ing diillculiy in disposing of it. Under such 

 conditions it is hardly possible to give accurate 

 prices, as some merchants ask 10 cents for 

 honey that others hold at IS cents. The prices 

 given in our last quotations are asked, but feel- 

 ing is unsettled. Iteeswa.v steady at 30c.

Albany, N. Y., July 18.— We are receiving 

 some shipments of new comb honey, mostly 

 from the South; the demand light as yet; we 

 are holding at 15@16c. Extracted slow at 6@"c. 

 The crop of honey in this vicinity is verv light, 

 and we shall have to depend upon other sec- 

 tions more than ever for our supply of honey. 

 Beeswax, 30fe32c. H. R. Wright. 



Cincinnati, Aug. 6 -The supply about equals 

 the demand for extracted honey. We are sell-

 pound, and 12W13c for No. 1, with no demand 

 whatever for dark grades. 



The market on extracted honey is in a very 

 unsettled condition, with prices ranging from 

 5@S>ic for light amber, Sii®6i4c for white, and 

 the common Southern at from SO@SSc per gal- 

 lon. Beeswax steady at from 30@31c.

This season's crop is not only unusually late, 

 but is proving much lighter than was generally

 not brisk and is mainly on local account.
