AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 



Bees at the l^orld's Fair.— 



N. Clemmons, Rock Bluffs, Nebr., writes 

 thus on the above subject : 



I see that bees and honey are to be 

 exhibited at the World's Fair, but how 

 the bees are to be exhibited is not 

 stated. I wish to know. I want mine 

 to fly and do all the work they can. I 

 want to come, with bees, if I live to get 

 there. N. Ci-emmons. 



We do not know — neither does any 

 other person, at present. As soon as a 

 Superintendent is appointed for the 

 Apiarian Department, the matter , can 

 be decided ; until then nothing can be 

 stated with any degree of authority. 



I^ady Apiarist Married— The 



following notice is from the Wabasha, 

 Minn., Herald for the first week in 

 January : 



Miss Lizzie Theilmann and Mr. Wm. 

 Dankwart were united in marriage at 

 the German Lutheran Church last Sun- 

 day by the Rev. J. Smith. The bride is 

 one of our estimable young ladies,. and 

 daughter of Mr. Theilmann, the well- 

 known farmer and apiarist. The groom 

 is a prosperous farmer residing a few 

 miles west of this place. In the after- 

 noon a number of invited guests gath- 

 ered at the home of the bride's parents, 

 where a sumptuous repast was served. 

 In the evening the happy couple de- 

 parted for their future home. May 

 every new year be as full of happiness 

 to them as this one. 



We heartily join in the New Year's 

 wish of the Herald. Miss Lizzie has 

 left a place in her father's familywhich 

 will long remain vacant. She was his 

 main help in the apiary, and he writes 

 us as follows concerning her late im- 

 portant step : 



Lizzie has been of great assistance to 

 me in the apiary, for a number of years, 

 and she is well advanced in bee-keeping. 

 Her place will be liard for me to fill in 

 the home apiary. When I went to the 

 out-apiaries, or off on other business, I 

 could safely trust her with the bees. She 

 is industrious and kind, and an untiring 

 worker in the church. May her future 

 life be as happy as it has been in the 

 past. 



My bees seem to winter well, although 



the temperature is now somewhat lower 

 in my bee-cellar than usual, as we have 

 had but little snow so far, and there- 

 fore the ground freezes harder, though 

 we had not much cold weather until 

 within a week. C. Theilmann. 



Theilmanton, Minn., Jan. l-i, 1892. 



May her honey-moon last through 

 life, and her married state be as sweet 

 as honey, and as pleasant as a sunny 

 day is to the bees. 



Prof. A. J. Cook gave an address 

 at the California State Convention last 

 week, at Los Angeles, on the work 

 accomplished by the National Bee-Keep- 

 ers' Union. As a result, 13 of his 

 audience requested to be enrolled as 

 members. Mr. John H.Martin ("Ramb- 

 ler ") took the names and money, and 

 sent them to the General Manager for 

 enrollment. 



Such a forcible address as that, at 

 each meeting of bee-keepers, would soon 

 run the membership up into the thou- 

 sands, where it ought to be. 



Some one should volunteer at each 

 convention to present the matter for 

 consideration and action. Where are 

 the champions? "One volunteer is 

 worth ten pressed men."
