The South Dakota Convention. 



The South Dakota bee-keepers as- 

 sembled for the purpose of organizing 

 a State bee-keepers' association, at 

 Yankton, Jan. 2.=;, 1900, at 1:10 p.m., 

 ■ with R. A. Morgan in the chair, and 

 E. F. Atwater as secretary. 



A committee of three was appointed 

 by the chairman to draft a constitution 

 and by-laws, composed of Messrs. 

 Harmeling, Dole, and Chantry. 



A discussion of various points in re- 

 lation to bee-culture was then taken 

 up. Mr. Danielson opened a discussion 

 in regard to time of putting queen- 

 cells in nurseries ; it was generally 

 thought that cells should not be put in 

 nurseries until " ripe," altho the reason 

 for this was not clearly understood. 

 Mr. Hobbs opened a discussion in re- 

 gard to the best packing for outdoor 

 wintering, chaff or any light porous 

 substance seeming to be preferred. 

 Mr. Burke gave his method of produc- 

 ing comb honey. Some wintered their 

 bees exclusively in the cellar, while 

 others have had more or less success 

 with outdoor wintering. 



After a S-minute recess, the commit- 

 tee on constitution and by-laws re- 

 ported. The constitution was discust 

 and adopted article by article, after 

 slight changes in wording, etc. 



The chair appointed Messrs. Daniel- 

 son, Harmeling, and Waterman as a 

 committee on districts. On motion, 

 Mr. Chantry was instructed to write 

 out rules of procedure, which were 

 adopted. The following amendment 

 was carried : " The executive commit- 

 tee shall prepare a program for each 

 meeting, which shall be sent to all 

 members at the time of notifying them 

 of the time and place of the next 

 meeting." 



EVENING SESSION. 



The meeting was called to order at 

 7:30 o'clock by Pres. Chantry. The 

 committee on districts nominated Mr. 

 Hobbs for vice-president of the Yank- 

 ton district, Mr. Chantry the Meckling 

 district, and Mr. Harmeling for the 

 rest of the State. All were duly 

 elected. 



It was decided that this association 

 join the National Bee-Keepers' Asso- 

 ciation as soon as possible, action in 

 the case to be left to the executive com- 

 mittee. Any one may receive and for- 

 ward money from new members. It 

 was voted that Mr. Morgan and Mr. 

 Chantry represent the Association at 

 the Farmers' Institute at Vermillion, 

 and that the executive committee have 

 the power to act in all such cases. 



Mr. Danielson presented and ex- 

 plained several new or improved appli- 

 ances, combined hive-stand, moving 

 apparatus, and entrance-closers; the 

 Chantry hive-knife, improved by Dan- 

 ielson, was also shown. The Chantry 

 hive-tie was exhibited and explained. 

 Miss Danielson, at the request of the 

 Association, sang " The Hum of the 

 Bees in the Apple-Tree Bloom."
