6 THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



to. By selling direct in this method many hundreds of dollars have 

 been earned. The field is still open. Most bottlers or honey 

 peddlers prefer to bny direct from the producer, but they have no 

 way of knowing the address of the producer unless you advertise 

 and let them know what you have for sale and 3'our address. 



Grade your honey, if comb, as 3'ou would like it to be graded 

 were you in the buyer's place. If extracted, produce it in the very 

 best and most up-to-date method, then don't make the mistake of 

 putting "the finest sweet on earth" into second-hand cans. Use 

 nezv can and cases. — Townsend. 



Tell Mr. Scott What To Do. 



In this number of the Review, under the head of "Some Glimp- 

 ses of Bee-keeping" in a W^arm Climate," Air. Scott tells of his ex- 

 perience with his bees. Mr. Scott has a general store, and keeps 

 bees as a "side issue" or "diversion" from his regular business. By 

 the tone of his letter one can easily see that he does not pretend 

 that he is getting results in honey that his location would warrant. 

 I might go ahead and tell wliat I would do under the circumstances 

 to better his condition, but I have decided to ask the readers of the 

 Review what they w^ould do were they in Mr. Scott's position. Con- 

 dense your communication as much as possible, as there will likely 

 he several who are willing to help Mr. Scott out of his difficulties. 

 Remember that if you should point out a system of management 

 that will double his crop of comb honey, he will .need to know what 

 to do with this additional 1,800 lbs. he will produce, as he already 

 is producing ail he can sell from liis store. — E. D. T. 



Why Not Have Motion Picture Films Advertise the Bee Business. 



One of our members, Mr. Ed. Hassinger, Jr., of Greenville, 

 Wisconsin, in a personal letter to me said: "I have not seen any- 

 thing in the bee journals with reference to motion picture films of 

 hee culture. I believe motion pictures are not only entertaining 

 but highly instructive, and one of the very best means of adver- 

 tising. Therefore I suggest that the National take up this at once 

 and spare no time or expense to make it as good as it is possible 

 to make it. Only the best up-to-date apiaries, hives and methods 

 to be shown, always with printed explanation. The business of 

 producing honey should be shown step by step, etc. If the National 

 can and will take this up, members of same can ^•end in suggestions 

 ■on just how and what should be shown, etc., the editors to make 

 -a memorandum, and then proceed with same next season.
