Economy does not always mean 

 the saving' of money — sometimes it's 

 the spending- of money.

Wedding Bells have recently chim- 

 ed for two of the veterans in our ranks 

 — Mr. F. Danzenbaker, and Mr. Henry 

 Alley. Hearts never grow old; and 

 the Review wishes abundant happi- 

 ness to these.

This Isssue of the Review goes to a 

 large number of bee-keepers who are 

 not subscribers. Such readers will 

 find something of special interest on 

 pages 218, 219, and 220.

For Four Months now, in succes- 

 sion, has it been necessary to add 

 eight extra pages to the Review, on 

 account of the amount of advertising 

 that has been offered.

If you have an enemy, some one with 

 whom you would like to "get even," 

 let me tell you how to do it. Do your 

 work, your common, everyday-work, 

 so well that even j^our enemy must look 

 on with admiration.

White Clover is unusually abun- 

 dant here this year, as is usually the 

 case after a hard winter. The man 

 who has wintered his bees will get a 

 good crop and a good price for it. 

 This lesson should sink deep into the 

 hearts of bee-keepers. Always pre- 

 pare the bees for just such a winter, 

 and winter them in such a way that 

 they will come through. Here in the 

 North it means abundance of good 

 vStores and excellent cellar-protection. 



The Texas Bee-Keepers' Assoc- 

 iation will hold its convention July 

 5th to 8th, inclusive, at College Station, 

 during the time of the Farmers' Con- 

 gress. Thej' have a long and varied 

 program that would do credit to that 

 of a National Convention.

General Manager France, at the 

 St. Louis convention, will have a large 

 map of the United States and Europe, 

 with shelves arranged on each State, 

 and on each shelf pound-bottles con- 

 taining samples of the honeys produc- 

 ed in said State.

Queens mating more than once is a 

 subject that is now being touched 

 upon in the bee journals. In the last 

 issue of the Review I asked if it were 

 not possible that old queens sometimes 

 mated again, and gave as proof of 

 such mating that tested queens which 

 I had sold had afterwards been report- 

 ed as producing hybrids. Mr. F. N. 

 Somerford suggests that such results 

 might have come from the queen having 

 been superseded, and explains how it 

 might have come about without the 

 knowledge of the bee-keeper. Not if 

 the queens were clipped, as was the 

 case in some of these instances. 



British Bee-Keepers have good 

 reason for being justly proud of the 

 man who edits their one bee journal — 

 Mr. Thomas W. Cowan. I was re- 

 minded of this by the receipt of the 

 most beautiful bee book that it has yet 

 been my good fortune to see — "The 

 Honey -Bee; Its Natural History, An- 

 atomy and Physiology," by Mr. Cow- 

 an. It is profusely illustrated, beau-
