t 



A New^ Department for Beginners. 



While attending the Illinois Convention, or rather returning 

 from it, one of their members suggested that many more would be 

 interested in the Review if there was a department telling briefly 

 what to do each month with the bees. Believing the suggestion 

 v/orthy of a trial, at least, I have arranged to have this monthly 

 calendar of instructions issued each month during 1913. It will not 

 be a question and answer department, neither will it be confined to 

 any one section, but correspondents will be secured in each division 

 of the United States, the north, south, east, west and southwest. 

 They may not all appear in this issue, but will as soon as they can 

 be secured.
