24 THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



Honey Plants of California. 



This is the name of Bulletin No. 217, written by i\I. C. Richter, 

 and published by the College of Agriculture, Berkely, Cal. It con- 

 tains 72 pages, with Irt illustrations. It gives a thorough treatise 

 on the honey flora of California, together with important tables, and 

 should be in the hands of every California bee-keeper. I believe it 

 is for free distribution, and is the iirst l^ulletin of its kind ever 

 issued in California. 



Short Course in Bee-Keeping. 



'Morley Pettit, Provincial Apiarist, is pushing the bee industry in 

 Ontario. I had the pleasure of meeting him for the first time at the 

 Toronto convention, and found him an enthusiast in his work. 

 Backed by the Ontario Agricultural College, he is doing much to 

 further the bee interests in Ontario. 



Last year a successful short course in bee-keeping was held at 

 the College, and this is to be repeated this year. The course begins 

 January 9th, and lasts two weeks. Tuition is free, but board will 

 cost the student from $3.50 to $4.50 per week. 



Miscellaneous Papers on Apiculture. 



Bulletin No. 75, issued l)y the Bureau of h^ntomology, Washing-

 following : Production and Care of Extracted Honey, by E. F. 

 Phillips, Ph. D. ; Methods of Honey Testing for Bee-keepers, by 

 C. A. Browne, Ph. D. ; Wax Moths and American Foul Brood, by

 chusetts, by Burton N. Gates. 



The Bulletin contains 124 pages and co\'er, and contains many 

 interesting illustrations. A map showing the territory infected with 

 both American and European foul brood in ^Massachusetts will be 

 especially interesting to bee-keepers in that state. 



Plans for the National. 



Yes, the new constitution has passed. This means that the plan 

 of organization is completely revised. The old plan provided for 

 one organization with no branches. The new plan provides for one 

 central organization with branches all over the United States and 

 Canada. These branches will elect delegates, and these delegates
