The Colorado Apiarian Exhibit at the St. Louis World's Fair. 



The Colorado Apiarian Exhibit at the St. Louis World's Fair last 

 year was without doubt the most attractive of its kind there. It was 

 In the excellent hands of Hon. G. W. Swink, of Otero Co., Colo., 

 and we are much pleased to present a good picture of this fine exhibit, 

 as shown above. 



The display consisted of comb honey in one-pound sections, and 

 extracted honey in bottles from i^ pound to 10 pounds each. 



There was also a large pyramid of beeswax 2 feet in diameter 

 the base, 4 inches at the top, and 8 feet high, which weighed . > 

 pounds. There were very fine specimens of solid beeswax in t 

 forms of horses, roosters, lion H, fish. World's Fair buildings, besiiU 

 bricks of beeswax and many o'lier novelties in wax. 



Among other things in comb honey was some fine brood- rames 

 solidly filled with the whitest of alfalfa honey, besides 5 large stars of 

 comb honey, and .5 beautiful samples of different designs built in glass, 

 weighing from 30 to 60 pounds each. These were indeed most ingen- 

 ious, and attracted considerable attention. 



This beautiful apiarian display from Colorado won the Grand 

 Prize on honey and beeswax, also 4 gold medals, 7 silver medals, and 5 

 bronze medals. 



Mr. Swink certainly deserves great credit for the interest he took 

 in preparing and installing this large and attractive exhibit. No 

 doubt it will result in calling the attention of the world to what Col- 

 orado can do in apiarian products.
