TENNESSEE STATE I!EE-KEEPERS' ASSOCIATION. 



At the close of the course in apiculture given at the University 

 of Tennessee, Knoxville, this spring, a State bee-keepers' asso- 

 ciation was formed. The following officers were elected: Presi- 

 dent, Prof. G. M. Bentley, Knoxville; Vice-president, Mr. Hen- 

 ry Cook, Springfield; Secretary and Treasurer, Mr. John Davis, 

 Spring Hill. Much enthusiasm was demonstrated in the organi- 

 zation of this Association, and the list of membership has in- 

 creased rapidly, and additional names are being received daily. 

 The annual meeting is to be held conjointly with the State 

 Horticulturists and Nurserymen in Nashville during the last week 

 in January, 1909. G. M. Bentley, 



Ass't State Entomologist and Plant Pathologist. 



[The bee-keepers of Tennessee would do well to get in touch 

 with Mr. Bentley. — Ed.] 



The annual meeting of the Missouri State Bee-keepers' Associ- 

 ation will take place May 26 and 27, at the Courthouse of Carrol- 

 ton, Mo. The meeting will convene at 9 a.m. 



A very interesting program has been prepared which is as fol- 

 fows: First day, morning session at the courthouse; afternoon 

 meeting at the bee-yard of A. Finlayson, of Carrolton. There 

 will be a practical demonstration of transferring bees from box 

 to movable-frame hives, and a practical demonstration of queen- 

 breeding and requeening colonizes of bees. 



Second day at courthouse. Lecture on foul brood, explaining 

 the same by exhibiting a hive containing diseased combs, also 

 microscope and slides showing the microbes which cause the 

 disease. 



Our State bee-inspector, Mr. M. E. Darby, will be on hand to 

 explain the spread of the disease over our State. There will be 

 a number of speakers, all expert bee-keepers, who will lecture 

 on different topics interesting to bee-keepers. 



We also expect to exhibit in the courthouse yard a hive of bees 

 in a cage made of wire screen to enable the public at large to 

 see the working of the bees without being in danger of stings. 

 An expert bee-keeper will enter the cage, open up the hive, and 

 show how the bees are doing their work. 



Hotel accommodations can be had at $1.00. Arrangements 

 have been made so that all can be accommodated. All bee- 

 keepers and those interested in bees are invited.
