218 THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



The New Home of the Review. 



Northstar, the new home of the Review, is in Gratiot County, 

 Michigan, on the Ann Arbor railroad, near the count}- seat, Ithaca, 

 in one of the very best farming- localities in the state. 



Gradually our bees have been removed from Remus, our old 

 home, to this better location for honey, until at present we have 

 no bees at the old point. We have three yards located near here, 

 and a fourth will be started during the season. 



Our other location, where we keep more bees than here at the 

 Star, is located in Charlevoix County, 150 miles north of here, on 

 the G. R. & I. railroad. My son, Dell, has charge of the 360 swarms 

 in Charlevoix County. As he has been brought up with the bees, 

 he needs no assistance in managing this lot. 



Michigan Has a New Foul Brood Law. 

 On another page we publish the complete foul brood law as it 

 passed the Michigan Leg'islature the past session. This is without 

 doubt the best disease law Michigan has ever had. It carries an 

 appropriation of $1,500, so we can expect to keep a man at inspection 

 work during the whole season, a thing' unheard of here before with 

 our previous small appropriation. The credit for this good work 

 belongs mostly to the legislative committee composed of President 

 Morse, Secretary Schmidt and Secretary Tyrrell, Elmore Hunt and 

 A. G. Woodman, backed up by the loyal support of the bee-keepers 

 of the state writing their representatives. The work was well done, 

 brothers ! > 



Welcome to the Western Honey Bee! 



We now have two bee journals owned and run by tic hee- 

 keeners themselves. The Western Honey Bee, published by the 

 California State Bee-Keepers' Association, has begun its mission of 

 leading the bee men of the west to greater power through organiza- 

 tion. A humorous poem, "When Father Boils the Wax," is the 

 first that greets your eye when turning the cover page. The writer 

 of that poem is a bee-man, without doubt. J. D. B., the author, also 

 has had experience like many more of us in securing a location for 

 an apiary, as he so interestingly tells us farther on in the journal. 

 President Ferree delivers his message to the bee-keepers, ]\Ir. Chad- 

 wick tells of the needs of the exhibit committee, and notes from 

 dififerent county bee associations make up an interesting paper. Mr. 

 Geo. L. Emerson is editor and contributes a valuable article on 

 "How to Market Our Honey." He suggests that local associations 

 should look after markets and the National Association direct inter- 

 state shipments. I believe that is a possibility and we can all work 

 together for greater co-operation in our business dealings. W. F.
