COXVEN-TION NOTES. 



The Subjects for discussion at the Union 

 Convention at Chicago, on Nov. If!, 17 and 18, 

 1887, came to hand too late to be inserted in 

 our November issue. 



"Come to the Convention" says Dr. C. 

 C. Miller. We wish circumstances were such 

 that we could go to Chicago and shake tha 

 hand of some of those people whom we have 

 known for years, but have never seen. We 

 would go a long distance to shake even the 

 hand of Dr. Miller, if no other. 



We met Editor Newman of the American 

 Bee Journal, at Philadelphia, also at New 

 York, and hope the day is not far distant when 

 we may meet in the city of New York ag.iin. 

 Cannot the North American Ueekeepers' .So- 

 ciety be induced to hold its next convention 

 in that city ? We would make an efl'ort to be 

 there. 



The Su.s(|uehauiia County Beekeep- 

 ers Association ^vill meet at New Mil- 

 ford. Pa., on Januar3^7, 1888. Subjects 

 for discussion : The best way to pre- 

 vent swarming : also is it advisable to 

 Italianize. All beekeepers are cordi- 

 ally invited. H. M. Seeley, Secretary.

 sending the Api to all subscribers

 mailed to you, and is not needed, 

 please say on a postal card " dis- 

 qontinue Api to my address." 



Some of our subscribers have 

 had rather " hard luck" with their 

 bees and are not prepared to re- 

 new their subscription ; to such the 

 Api will be continued if the}' re- 

 quest us to do so, — and if paid for 

 inside of one 3'ear it will be per- 

 fectly satisfactoiy.

 published in the Ai'i, though some of them 

 will not appear for several months to come. 



Will thosi- who send us essays or geneial 

 articles please write on one side of the pajier 

 only an<i use ink in writing? Several essays 

 have come to band that we cannot use as the 

 pencil was used instead of ink.
