I have practiced takiut; my bees out tor a

 changeable in temperature. I have not lost

NoFtheastern Wisconsin Convention 



The bee-keepers of northeastern Wisconsin 

 held a convention at the residence of John H. 

 Terens, in Manitowoc Co., Wis., Sept. 20. 

 1002, and the following officers were elected : 

 President, John H. Terens; vice-presidents, 

 C. H. Voigt and FredTrapp; secretary. Dr. 

 J. B. Rick ; treasurer, John Cochems. 



The total number of colonies reported to 

 exist within a circle of 10 miles was found to 

 be 1000. The regular order of business being 

 taken up, the following topics were dis- 

 cussed: Introducing Queens, Wintering and 

 Ventilation, Health and Longevity of Queens, 

 Is the S or 10 Frame Hive Preferable I Each 

 subject was discussed with great earnestness, 

 and all present seemed deeply interested, and 

 listened with much attention while each 

 speaker gave his experience and opinion, with 

 reasons for such. 



Pres. Terens then appointed a committee 

 of three to draft a program for the next meet- 

 ' ing, which committee submitted the follow- 

 ing : Wintering and \'entilation, Fred Trapp ; 

 Prevention of Absconding Swarms, C. H. 

 Voigt; Marketing Honey, Chas. W. Voigt; 

 Hives Best Adapted to This Climate, J. 

 Cochems; Are Black or Italian Queens Pref- 

 erable '. J. H. Terens ; Which is the Most Suc- 

 cessful Way of Rearing Queens ! L. C. Koeh- 

 ler; Bee-Pasturage, V. Chloupek ; Mating of 

 Queens, Dr. J. B. Rick. 



The date and place of holding the next 

 meeting was decided to be at 10 o'clock a.m., 

 Nov. 8, 1892, at the residence of John H. 

 Terens, InMlshicott. C. H. Voigt, «(c.

Poorest Season in 8 Years. 



The honey season of 11102 closed with heavy 

 frosts on the nights of the lUh and Pith. It 

 was the poorest season in 8 years here. The 

 bees, however, got enough for winter, and 

 from about (55 colonies, spring count, I got 

 about 1,000 pounds, mostly comb honey, and 

 an increase of 28 colonies. There would have 

 been a tine crop from heartsease, I think, if 

 the fall had been warm and dry, but we had 

 no steady warm weather here either in the 

 summer or fall, only an occasional nice day 

 or part of day. There is more white clover 

 here now, as a result of the wet season, than 

 ever before; so the bee-keeper's hopes for 

 " next year " will be large and lively. 



There was one point in Dr. Gallup's arti- 

 cles on "Rearing Long-Lived Queens and 

 Bees" that I hoped to see discussed further, 

 but failed to bring out fully enough in a for- 

 mer communicaiion ; and it has been totally 

 ignored in the discussion th\is far. What I 

 have reference to is the claim that the worker 



BEE-KEEPERS-ATTENTION. 



Do not put your money into New Hangled IJee-Mives, but buy a plain, ser- 

 viceable and well-made hive, .such as the regular iJovetailed hive arranged for

 ducing .sections in the world— use this style.
