THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



Second subject: "Best Methods of Queen Bearing-." B. M. 

 ^ara^vay said on this subject that to get best queens, pick breeding 

 queens from hives showing largest production of honey and having 

 large force of bees. Also keep cell hives well fed. 



A motion was here made to suspend regular order of business 

 and decide whether dues for membership paid for one year from the 

 time they were sent in or to the next meeting. It was moved, sec- 

 onded and adopted that a member's dues remitted any time during 

 the year only paid his dues to the time of the next annual meeting. 



Invitation was made to take in new members and quite a num- 

 ber responded before the regular order of business was taken up. 



Subject of best methods of queen rearing was resumed, and W. 

 H. Laws, and Mr. J. B. King, of Batesville, gave us their ideas. 



Next subject submitted for discussion was: "Bee-Keeping or 

 Dairying;, Which the ]\Iost Profitable?'' This subject was given to 

 Mr. W. O. Victor, of Uvalde, who has tried the combination, and 

 thinks the combination is not a good plan, and believes that taken 

 one year with another bee-keeping is the most prolit^ble considering 

 the amount invested. 



Next on program was report of Prof. Xewell on "Foul Brood 

 Over the State." Mr. Newell was not present, but sent in a paper 

 to be read. 



A general discussion of foul brood was engaged in by foul brood 

 inspectors from different parts of the state, after which invitation 

 was given to take in new members and collect dues of old ones. 



A motion was then made to discontinue the regular order of 

 business and have election of officers on the ^Dth, instead of oOth. 

 Motion carried and preliminaries for election immediately began, re- 

 sulting in offfcers being elected as shown at the beginning of these 

 minutes. 



Motion made to adjourn, carried. 



THIRD DAY. 



House called to order \\'ednesday morning, Julv 30th, 1913. 



First subject en program "Bee-Keepers Exhibits at Fairs." ]Mr. 

 T. P. Robinson called attention to honey packages sent to Dallas 

 fair to compete for j^rizes. Said quantities had been too much and 

 that it would be more convenient to have prize honey sent in smaller 

 quantities. 



A motion was made and carried that "the Secretary be in- 

 structed to write the fair association asking that same amount of 

 space be allotted to the bee-keepers for exhibit as was given last 

 year, and at the same location." 



"Prevention of Swarming" next occupied the attention of the 

 meeting, and several members made good talks on this line. Among
