packages where bees cannot get to 

 them. Go to sugar cane mills and 

 keep the premises cleaned up, -and to 

 neighbors' kitchens where bees come in 

 and bother while canning fruit, and 

 ask them to keep the door and win- 

 dows screened while at such work. 

 Bees do not go where sweets do not 

 aboimd. 



5. In the Highway and the Public 

 Places. — If people or teams are stung 

 in such public places by your bees it 

 is your duty to so locate the bees, 

 or change the surroundings that they 

 do not disturb the public. If damage 

 to person, stock or property is done 

 by the bees, the owner is liable for 

 damages. And if it continues, may be- 

 come a nuisance. High board fences, 

 or high hedges are a great help. Even 

 with all possible precaution if bees are 

 near the street, the bees will at times 

 bother. Keep out of trouble if possi- 

 ble. Don't get the idea that the Na- 

 tional Association can win every case. 

 We must keep within the law if you 

 want protection. Avoid conflicts, com- 

 promise, and live up to the Golden 

 Rule.

x-Vs will be seen by referring to the 

 notice issued by Secretary York and 

 published elsewhere in this number of 

 The Bee-Keeper, the next annual meet- 

 ing of the National Bee-Keepers' As- 

 sociation will be held at Los Angeles, 

 Cal., August 18, 19 and 20, 1903. Los 

 Aneeles is one of the most charming 

 cities of the Pacific coast country, and 

 is situated in the midst of an excellent 

 honey producing territory, near the 

 western foothills of the Rockies, with 

 orange groves and oil wells galore ad- 

 jacent. Visiting bee-keepers from the 

 east will find no lack of interesting 

 sights about the city of the angels. 



As we go to press we learn, through 

 the American Bee Journal, that Dr. 

 E. Gallup, the veteran bee-keeper, died 

 at his home in California on the 5th 

 ultimo. 



Chicago, April 7. — Choice to fancy 

 comb honey sells in a limited way at

 grades, amber. 5 1-2 to 6 1-2 cents.

Batterson & Co. 



"L'Apicoltore," published at Milan, 

 Italy, is a well gotten up bee journal

 doubtless be very interesting— if we 

 could read it.

 the following prices: Amber, barrels, 

 5 1-2 to 6 1-2 cents, according to quali-
