•Way Down in "Egypt." 



I was down in lllinoisai my old home plaee, 

 in " Ki;ypt." I have l)een away for 2."i years. 

 As far as liee-ciillnre is eoneerned there has 

 been no ehan;re oven in tio years. The same 

 old lo;r uY l)(!ar<l t,nims are used, aiul honey 

 taken out frcan the top in ehunks, either at 

 nil^Iit t)r when the weather was so eold the 

 bees could not fly. I saw no one that took 

 any care of their bees, and very few will keep 

 bees, as they say it is too much trouble, and 

 the moths are too bad. 



I had sent a few cases down there before I 

 went, and one man that had a few bees and 

 was i)eddling honey as black as tar, said the 

 honey I sent down was not made by the bees; 

 that the bees never made it so even and so 

 white as that was. He declared it was all 

 manufactured, and warned the folks not to 

 eat it. There was no one that I talked with 

 that was afraid of it. 



I was in Alexander, Union and Williamson 

 Counties, Illinois, and saw but few bees.

Advertise the Truth About Honey. 



Now about those l>ig lies that arc tJ^oin^ the 

 rounds of the press in regard to comb honey. 

 It really looks discouraging when an editor 

 can tind room to publish falsehoods to injure 

 a class of honest producers, yet when fur- 

 nished with the truth cannot give it room. 

 Now I want to suggest that the National As- 

 sociation take the matter up. Surely, it is of 

 enough importance, as it affects all honey- 

 producers everywhere. 



My suggestion is this : Let the Association 

 buy space in suitable papers, paying advertis- 

 ing rates, if necessary, in order to furnish the 

 consumers with the truth about the matter, 

 and head oil the big lies. It seems to me some 

 of the money could be used to good advantage 

 thus. W. G. Gathright.

Reports of the Parma Convention. 



The annual meeting of the Parma Bee-Keep- 

 ers' Association met in Parnia, Ida., at 10 

 a.m. Jan IS, 1H02, with a large attendance, 

 Pres. Brush being in the chair. In the dis- 

 cussions many interesting points were brought 

 out, some perterring S-frames. Some having 

 large hives claimed 45 Danz. sections of comb 

 honey could be produced in the same time it 

 took 8-frame colonies to produce ;i4 sections. 



Reversible bottom-boards were generally 

 perferred. 



After a basket dinner the following officers 

 were elected: Mrs. Mitchell, president; F. R. 

 Fouch and H. M. Ruddock, secretaries. 



We shall try in the future to get better 

 rates on honey, from transporation companies. 



The Chantry feeder for stimulating breed- 

 ing was shown, and its use illustrated by E. F.
