THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



life beautiful; and I would say to any 

 farmer, or farmer's wife, "Don't let 

 the specialist idea discourage you. If 

 you haven't bees, get some; and keep 

 them as long as you have a child at 

 home. And, after the children are 

 gone, don't part with the bees. Per- 

 haps one of the little g'randchildren 

 may live with you. 



Summit City, Mich., Mar. 22. 1905. 



[I believe Mr. Krause said it was all 

 right for farmers to keep bees if there 

 were some member of the familj^ who 

 could do the work — some member who 



could not do farm work, or did not 

 care to do it. I agree with Mrs. Jack- 

 son that where children can be en- 

 couraged to take an interest in bees 

 and care for them, it is all right; but I 

 don't see as it would be any better 

 than to encourage them and give them 

 a share in some of the regular farm- 

 work, providing, of course, it is such 

 as interests them, and that they can 

 take a part in it. If it isn't, then bee- 

 keeping is all right, and I see no ob- 

 jection to it in the light in which Mrs. 

 Jackson puts it. — Ed. Review.]

Protection for bees after they are 

 taken from the cellar is something that 

 needs serious consideration. I know 

 of some bee-keepers who are this year 

 using building paper for this purpose, 

 and when the season is over I wish 

 they would let us know the results. 



busy season is over with the bees, 

 when the weather is comfortable, even 

 in the South, and when cheap excur- 

 sion rates can be secured.

The Next National Convention to be at 

 San Antonio, Texas. 



For years, Texas has been asking 

 that the National Bee-Keepers' Asso- 

 ciation hold its convention within her 

 borders, but there has always seemed 

 to be some reason why the meeting 

 should be elsewhere. There is now no 

 reason why it should not be held in 

 Texas this year, if it is ever to be held 

 there. Texas is the largest State in 

 the Union, and stands at least second, 

 if not first, in honey production, while 

 she has a good list of members in the 

 National Association. Considering all 

 of these facts, the Executive Committee 

 has decided upon San Antonio as the 

 place for holding the next convention. 

 The exact date has not yet been 

 decided upon, but it will probably be 

 the latter part of October, after the 



Why the Cliange in Cover. 



Two or three years ago, for the 

 period of about a year, I used on the 

 Review, a cover similar to the one on 

 this issue. I liked the cover, but I 

 could get the paper only by having it 

 made to order; and then I had to buj^ 

 enough at one time to last me a year. 

 This tied up quite a lot of money (for 

 me), besides, just at that time, I had 

 bought a new job press and was 

 greatly interested in color-printing, 

 doing work in two or more colors, and 

 the result was the cover that has since 

 graced the Review. In the last two 

 3'ears the Review has greatly increased 

 its subscription list, while the printing 

 office has been moved down town, 

 where the demands upon the job press 

 are very urgent, making it difficult at 

 times to run oft" the cover, which, as it 

 is now printed, requires four "runs" 

 to print it. By printing it in black 

 upon the large press the work can be
