Moisture in Cellars. 



" A York County Bee-Keeper " says in the 

 Canadian Bee Journal : 



So Mr. Alpaugh thinks that a perfectly dry 

 cellar is not an ideal place to winter bees in ! 

 There are others who hold the same opinion, 

 .lust a short time ago a bee-keeper friend was 

 telling me that the past winter he had partjjf 

 his bees in his cellar, which is very dry. The 

 bees were quite noisy and restless, tempera- 

 ture 44 degrees till along towards spring; dur- 

 ing a heavy rain, water contrived somehow 

 to till up the drain around the cellar, when 

 the bees at once ciuieted down and remained 

 quiet as long as the water was there. Looks 

 as it Doolittle's idea, that bees need moisture 

 more than fresh air, is about right after all.

Our Nominatioa as a Candidate for 

 Qeneral Manager. 



Ill (ileanings in Bee-Culture tor .July 1.5 

 appeared the following-, which was written 

 entirely unbel<nown to us, and consequently 

 without our consent ; 



GEORCE W. rORK FOR GENERAL MANAGER. 



I consider Mr. George W. York, editor and 

 owner of the American Bee Journal, as the 

 lo>'ical candidate tor General Manager of the 

 National Bee-Keepers' Association at the elec- 

 tion to be held in December, 190:.'. It is common 

 knowledge that Mr. York stands in the fore- 

 most ranlt of bee-men in America, and that he 

 has always had the interest of the National and 

 of bee-keepers in general at heart. Mr. "iork is 

 ex-President of the National, and right m the 

 line for promotion. 



It is probably not generally known that Mr. 

 Yorl; received the next highest number of 

 votes tor General Manager after Mr. Secor at 

 the last election. Mr. York has declared re- 

 peatedly that he is not a candidate for any 

 office but I believe he would obey a unani- 

 mous call, and sacrifice his personal feelings 

 to the good of the greatest number. He is in 

 position to do great good in the way of pub- 

 licity and promotion, and his lournal has 

 always been ready to forward the interests of 

 the National. Herman F. Moore. 



In a foot-note comment on the foregoing. 

 Editor E. R. Root wrote this: 



It is true that Mr. York has repeatedly 

 declared he Is not a candidate for the office ot 

 GeneraUIanager. I once broached the sub- 

 ject to him, and he very positively declined 'o 

 be considered a candidate. He based his re- 

 fusal on the ground that no bee-editor should 

 take the office. But if he were to get the 

 „„„„unnu> support he mh/M reconsider. Per- 

 wnally I know he would make a good Gen- 

 eral Manager; and I do not see why the fact 

 of his lieing an editor of a liee-paper should 

 stand in the way ot his considering theoffice. 

 Mr Secor has said he wished to be relieved. 

 Just what his future action will be I do not 

 know There are a dozen good men whom 1 

 could support as candidates, and Mr. \0Tk, 

 Mr. Hutchinson, Mr. France, and Mr. becor 

 are some ot them. .v.„» ,>,o 



Now when I say I do not believe that the 

 position of editor bars one from being Gen- 

 eral Manager, I wish tx> say emphat ca ly 

 there are other reasons why I. as one of them, 

 can not and will not be considered as a can- 

 didate; but I can give my support most cor- 

 dially to any other bee-editors. 



I suspect the publication of this letter from 

 Mr Moore will raise a breeze with Bro. York. 

 Well, let him raise the wind, Mr. Moore and 1 

 can stand a good deal-these /,../ days. The 

 Association needs some men who can rooi. 

 things otr a little. 



Certainly, all the above is very pleasant, and 

 appreciated, but we really do not care to have 

 the office of General Manager. We have 

 often said that we did not think that an edi-
