California Bee-Keepers Have Secured a Novel Exhibit for the 

 Panama-California Exposition. 



(The following matter is sent you by the Pubhcity Department of the Panama- 

 California Exposition, and may be used wholly or in part, at any time to suit 

 your convenience. Wixfield Hogaboom, Director of Publicity.) 



Among the many unique feattu^es of the Panama-California 

 Exposition in San Diego, there is being planned an open air bee- 

 keeping exhibit to be installed on the exposition grounds, where 

 there will be ftdly ecjuipped apiary with honey house, extractor and 

 tanks with everything necessary to illustrate just how bees are 

 managed, and how all of the operations attendant upon the produc- 

 tion and reomval. packing and shipping of honey are carried on. 

 The exhibit will also include a comb honey apiary and a queen bee 

 rearing department, containing representatives of all of the varieties 

 of bees of commercial importance and the methods employed in 

 raising and introducing the improved strains of honey gatherers. 



The idea of such an exhibit is the outcome of recent meetings 

 of the honey producers of Southern California, notably of San 

 Diego countv. where it was thought that a more widely disseminated 

 knowledge of the advantages of California as a bee-raising country 

 would prove of profit to those who are seeking fresh fields and 

 pastures new for legitimate enterprise requiring limited capital, as 

 well as of educational advantages to those already engaged in the 

 business. 



Professor Ralph Benton, of the University of California, and 

 J. W. Ferree, president of the California State Bee-Keepers' Asso- 

 ciation, visited San Diego recently, and after looking over the 

 exposition site, decided that in view of the fact that the big fair 

 in 1915 will be held in a natural park of 1,400 acres, filled with 

 wild flowers and honey-producing plants, that a well-selected sec- 

 tion in one of the canyons and high ground adjoining would prove 

 a splendid site for a bee-keeping exhibit.
