122 THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



Minnesota Bee Men After a New Foul Brood Law. 



A lengthy circular letter reached me explaining a new law the 

 bee-keepers are after in Minnesota. It provides for a state apiarist 

 and one of his duties will be to keep an experimental apiary at the 

 university farm at St. Anthony Park. The apiary shall contain not 

 less than 25 colonies. 



The Bee-Keepers' Exhibit at the California Exhibition. 



A letter received from P. C. Chadwick, of Redlands, California, 

 who is secretary of the exhibition committee, states that the plans 

 for the bee-keepers' exhibit for the exposition are not yet completed, 

 but that the work is progressing nicely. A\'e have no doubt tlint the 

 exhibit will he a credit to the California bee-keepers. 



The New Directors. 



In this issue I am giving- the pictures of the present directors. 

 They are five in number, and I thought you as members would like 

 to know what they look like. I have every reason to believe that 

 they will work for your interests at every point. 



Next issue I hope to give the pictures of the officers. 



The New Bee Journal. 



The California State Association starts with the April number 

 a new journal devoted to bee culture in general, and the needs of 

 the California bee-keeper in 'particular. Geo. L. Emerson is editor. 

 Its advertisement appears in this issue. We wish it the best of suc- 

 cess and will be pleased to help all we can. 



Co-operative Experiments in Apiculture. 



These experiments will be carried out under the flirection of 

 Morley Pettit, Provincial Apiarist, of Ontario, Can., and comprise 

 the following : 



Experiment No. r — ]\lethod for the ])reventi»in of natural swarm- 

 ing in extracted honey production by holding the colony together.

 ing in comb honey production, by artificial shaken-swarming.
