THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER 



November 



would like to move that this Association 

 make J. B. Hall a life member— that is 

 all. (Loud applause). I would like, if 

 it were in my power, to confer some 

 higher honor upon him, but I know he 

 does not want it; and I am not sure 

 whether he would appreciate even this: 

 hut I know it is our duty to show Mr. 

 Kail some mark of the appreciatiini of 

 the valuable services he has rendered to 

 the bee-keeoing interests of this 

 province. I hope this will not be made 

 a precedent: it would be very little 

 honor if all the old men were associated 

 with him; I would like to see Mr. J. B. 

 liall the one and only life member of 

 this Association during my life-time. 



Mr. Brown: I have very much pleas- 

 ure in seconding Mr. McKnighVs 

 motion. I can endorse every word he 

 has said with reference to Mr. Hall. 



The motion was carried by a rising 

 vote, and the singing of '"He's a Jolly 

 Good Fellow,'" after which Mr. Hall 

 briefly and suitably replied.

It is said that bee-keepers and

 creasing at the rate of thirty per 

 cent, a year. 



The Bee-keepers' Guide is under- 

 going so thorough a revision at the 

 hands of its author. Prof. A. J. 

 Cook, of Pomona College, Cal., 

 that it is thought this popular 

 work Avill enter upon the new cen- 

 tury at the head of the list of stand- 

 ard books for bee-keepers. 



Mr. E. R. Root has for some time 

 past been busily engaged in tho- 

 roughly revising every part, not 

 re- written last year, of the ABC 

 of Bee Culture. The 1899 edition of 

 the "A B C" was very full and 

 complete; but it appears that the 

 new edition is to be a marvel of 

 completeness. 



General Manager Eugene Secor, 

 Forest City. la., of the National 

 Bee-keepers' Association, is a can- 

 didate for Congress. Bee-keepers 

 would not pause to question the 

 ticket matter, if they were permit- 

 ted to cast their vote for this 

 scholarly champion of bee-keepers' 

 rights.
