EDITORIAL 



A few minutes' headwork will often save several hours" footwork. 



Order your bee supplies early. The bees will soon be swarming. 



Nothing like the tirst days' work in the spring, with the bees 

 flying, to start the enthusiasm. 



Honey Butter. 



Chalon Fowler, of Oberlin, Ohio, is selling candied honey, calls 

 it "honey-butter." This name suggests the use to which candied 

 honey can be put, and he says that it helps him in building up a 

 good trade in that kind of honey. This is a suggestion worth 

 thinking about. 



Northern Michigan Bee-Keepers' Convention. 



Secretary R. D. Bartlett, of East Jordon, Mich., writes me that 

 the convention will be held at Traverse City, Wednesday and Thurs- 

 day, March 13th and 14th, with headquarters at the Whiting Hotel. 



Realizing the number of progressive bee-keepers in Northern 

 Michigan, there is no question but this will be an important meeting 

 to attend. 



The Worcester County Bee-Keepers' Association of Massachusetts. 



They have planned one meeting for each month in the year 

 excepting July and August, and the summer field meeting will be 

 held during one of those months. One subject is selected for each 

 session and the dates of the meetings are all planned in advance. 

 This is a new idea to me and one which I consider most excellent.
