will die. But they'll die victorious, eh? 

 Hang 'em ! 



But I say to their credit they did hand- 

 somely in putting in a big lot of honey in the 

 brood-chamber, and a hundred pounds in the 

 super, (mine is a double hive, you know). If 

 they'd only had sense enough to stay and en- 

 joy the fruit of their industry, I, too, would 

 have been more contente^J.

PaFtFidge Pea. 



I send a slip of a plant which grows here 

 along hillsides and streams where there is 

 plenty of yellow clay. I notice the bees work 

 on it very hard in (he fall. What is it?

[The enclosed plant is partridge pea, and 

 belongs to the pulse family. Prof. Cook's 

 Manual says it furnishes abundant nectar. 

 The whole pulse family is a rather sweet one.

Not a Pound of Honey. 



The honey crop is a failure here. It has 

 been a poor crop the past four years, but 

 there is not a pound of honey to take off this 

 fall. It has been too wet and cold since the 

 first of August for the bees to work and store 

 surplus honey. W. E. Mead.

J. P. Moore.— Dear Sir:— I wish to write you 

 in reg"ard to queens purchased of you. I could 

 have written sooner, but I wanted lo test them 

 thoroughly and see if they had those remarka- 

 ble qualities of a three-banded Italian bee. I 

 must confess to you I am more surprised every 

 day as I watch them. They simply " roll the 

 honey in." It seems that they get honey where 

 others are idle or tryiag to rob; and for gentle- 

 ness of handling, I have never seen the like. 

 Friend E. R. Root was right when he said your 

 bees have the longest tongues; for they ^et 

 honey where others fail. I will express my 

 thanks for such queens. I am more than 

 pleased. I will stock my out-apiaries next 

 spring with your queens. 



Yours truly, Henry Schmidt. 



The above is pretty strong evidence that red 

 clover is not the only plant which requires 

 long-tongue bees to secure the greatest quantity 

 of nectar.

 energies during the ensuing year towards the 

 enactment of laws in favor of the bee-keeping 

 industry in the State of Ohio.

A motion to amend the by-laws to increase 

 the executive committee from six to twelve 

 was carried unanimously. 



Bee-keeping being a source of pleasure to 

 the gentler sex, it was resolved, on the urgent 

 appeal of the Eecretary, to give them repre- 

 sentation on the executive committee. Two 

 were elected, whose names appear above. 



E. A. Painter, a prominent attorney and 

 bee-keeper, gave an interesting address on 

 organization, after which a hearty vote of 

 thanks was tendered the proprietor and man- 

 ager of the Grand Hotel, for the accommoda- 

 tion afforded the bee-keepers' association, 

 free of charge, during the past year.
