The niicliisnn Slate Fair.— The 

 Michigan State Agricultural Society has 

 made some impnitant chauges in the Bee 

 and Honey deparimeut for 1889. Instead of 

 exhibiting full colonies of bees, the premium 

 list calls for " nucleus colony." It was the 

 intention to have it read " 1-frame nucleus," 

 as it gives so much better satisfaction to the 

 visitors and exhibitors; it will be adopted 

 by many other exhibitions. If those con- 

 templating making an exhibit of bees will 

 bring jnst one frame in each nucleus, it will 

 save much confusion with the judging. Ex- 

 tracted honey, which had been dropped from 

 the list, has been replaced, and the premium 

 raised to put it on par with comb honey. 

 The Michigan bee-keepers try to make it 

 pleasant for all exhibitors outside of the 

 State, and cordially invite all to come and 

 make an exhibit. H. D. Cutting.
