Kentucky State Convention. 



The bee-keepers of Kentucky will 

 meet at the Exposition Building, Lou- 

 isville, on Tuesday, Sept. 28, at 10 

 o'clock a. m., for the purpose of organ- 

 izing a State Bee-Keepers' Association. 

 After the organization is effected, it' 

 will adjourn and go to Cincinnati, to be 

 at the opening of the National Conven- 

 tion the following day. I hope a full 

 delegation will be in attendance from 

 all the associations in the State. All 

 bee-keepers are cordially invited to at- 

 tend. Dr. N. P. Allen, 

 Sec. Southern Ky. Association. 



H^The Central Iowa Bee-Keepers' 

 Association was organized at Grundy 

 Center, Iowa, on the 17th inst.. by adopt- 

 ing a constitution and electing the fol- 

 lowing officers : President — Rev. E. G. 

 Waite, of Grundy Center, Iowa ; 1st 

 Vice President — J. II. Lighter, of Mel- 

 rose ; 2d Vice President— M. A. New- 

 comb, of Traer ; Secretary — Dr. L. B,. 

 Alderman, of Traer ; Treasurer— John 

 Dixon, of Grundy Center. The meet- 

 ing was small, but we regard it as a 

 " nucleus," promising great things in 

 the future. The bee-keepers present 

 reported less than % of a crop of white 

 honey. We are having a copious flow 

 of buckwdieat and goldenrod at present.

Bee-Keepers' Convention. 



Arrangements are being made for 

 the holding of a Bee-Keepers' Conven- 

 tion at Toronto, Canada, on the loth, 

 16th and 17th of September, 1880, in 

 connection with the great exhibition 

 which is to be held in that city in Sep- 

 tember. Mr. D. A. Jones, of Beeton, 

 Out., is making arrangements for the 

 meeting and it is expected that bee- 

 keepers will be present from all parts of 

 the United States and Canada. Mr. 

 Jones is going to show at the Toronto 

 Exhibition, colonies of bees just im- 

 ported by him from the Holy Land and 

 Cyprus, and a large collection of honey. 

 The Industrial Exhibition Association, 

 of Toronto, are lending Mr. Jones their 

 influential assistance. * 



Southern Cal. District Convention. 



At the suggestion of many apiarists, 

 who think that a convention of those 

 engaged in honey-producing should be 

 held this fall, and believing that such a 

 general meeting would materially ad- 

 vance the interests of this branch of 

 industry in Southern California, I name 

 the 20th and 21st days of October, 1880, 

 at Los Angeles, California, as the time 

 and place for holding such convention, 

 that being during the session of the 

 Horticultural and Agricultural Pairs. 

 A cordial invitation is extended to all 

 apiarists in the State, and to all who 

 feel an interest in the science of api- 

 culture. C. J. Fox, 

 Pres. Dist. B. K. Association. 

 N. Levering, 

 Sec'y Los Angeles B. K. Association. 



Nebraska Honey Show. 



On September 20. the next State Fair

 mittee appointed at the last regular 

 meeting of the Nebraska State Bee- 

 Keepers' Association to arrange for and 

 conduct the exhibit of apiarian pro- 

 ducts and implements, would hereby 

 request the makers of implements and 

 supplies to notify the Committee at 

 once of anything they may wish to ex- 

 hibit, that" ample space may be pro- 

 vided. Premiums on honey are limited 

 to the products of Nebraska, but other- 

 wise, are open to all competitors.
