TO THE MEMBERS, EX-MEMBERS AND PROSPECTIVE 



MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL BEE-KEEPERS' 



ASSOCIATION. 



Fellow Bee-Keepers axd Members: 



Your attention is called to the fact that the Directors of the 

 National Bee-Keepers' Association have purchased the Bee-Keepers 

 Review for the Association, to be used by them as an official organ. 

 According to our contract, we take possession with the next, or 

 June number, and we will continue to publish it monthly, as hereto- 

 fore. 



Some changes in the makeup of the Review are already l)eing 

 contemplated by the Board of Directors. The subscription price of 

 one dollar per year will likely be adhered to as in the past. A pro- 

 vision is already decided upon that present subscribers who are not 

 members of the National can become members for the balance of 

 1912, by paying the local association fee of 50 cents ; the dollar they 

 have paid for the Review for this year being accepted in lieu of 

 the dollar membership fee of the National. 



Arrangements are also made so that members that are uot sub- 

 scribers of the Review, will be taken care of. The}' should write 

 the Secretary for particulars. 



Our efficient Secretary, Mr. E. B. Tyrrell, has consented to 

 remain with us as ^Managing Editor of the Review. It has about 

 been decided by the directors to have a board of three editors, these 

 two, aside from Mr. Tyrrell, having complete charge of all the 

 manuscript that is published in the Re\'ie\v each month. 



The advantage of the board of three editors will be apparent 

 to the members, inasmuch as it Avill make the Review broad in its 

 dealings with the different problems of bee-keeping. In other words, 

 it will not be a ''one man journal." 



'Most papers are edited by men who happen to have the money 

 to buy someone out, or they may have been born in a family of 

 publishers, thus become editors. The reader will see at a glance 

 that such an editor mav make a (?ood one or otherwise.
