Colorado Bee-Keepers' Association Votes to Become Affiliated With 



the National. 



This Association, which has been listed as a branch of the 

 National for some time, owing to the decision of its oliicers to act 

 as branch officers, has now taken legal action to l^ecome an affiliated 

 association. AA'e are glad to welcome this Association to our ranks, 

 and know that we have their co-operation. This action was taken 

 at their State ^Meeting, held at JNIontrose, January 25th ; President 

 J. J. Corbett presided. 



The new foul brood bill was taken up and discussed b}- those 

 present and unanimously approved by the Association. J. R. Miller 

 read a paper on how to fill empty hives. The article treated of the 

 various systems which are used at present to refill hives, and of all 

 of these the Alexander plan was declared especially useful and most 

 generally approved. ATr. Miller's paper also contained the good 

 advice that it was Ijetter to keep tlie hives full rather than to fill 

 empty ones. After the discussion of the paper the meeting- 

 adjourned so that assistance might be given Robert Foster, who is 

 getting up a co-operative order for a car of bee supplies. The 

 meeting was well attended, and future meetings were planned. The 

 dues of the Association were placed at $1.00.
