A LEADER in AMERICAN 

 BEEKEEPING 



GEO. S. DEMUTH 



Mr. Geo. S. Demuth, for the last nine years 

 the assistant of Dr. E. F. Phillips in the 

 department of Bee Culture Investigations 

 at Washington, D. C, and one of the most 

 favorably known beekeepers and beekeep- 

 ing authorities in America, will become 

 the active editor of Gleanings in Bee Cul- 

 ture the present month, associating himself 

 with E. R. and A. I. Root in editorial work. 



Mr. Demuth will bring to his new position 

 very unusual qualifications, not only as a 

 practical beekeeper in his ov^n apiary, but 

 as a student and scientist of beekeeping 

 Few^ leaders in apiculture have ever had the 

 degree of confidence of the beekeepers 

 everywhere that Mr. Demuth has. It is 

 hardly too much to say that beekeepers 

 generally agree to the proposition that 

 " When Demuth says it's so, it's so. " 



A Step in Advance 



Mr. Demuth's coming to Gleanings in Bee Culture is not only for the purpose 

 of making it a still better bee journal and still more useful to American bee- 

 keepers, but also to put him in position to serve the American beekeeping 

 public in all our literature. He will have a part in the revision of the ABC 

 and X Y Z of Bee Culture from time to time; in the preparation of revisions 

 of standard beekeeping books and in the editing of new beekeeping books 

 now planned. All of his great store of beekeeping knowledge will be placed 

 at the service of American beekeepers in whatever we may publish. Just as 

 he has so conscientiously and ably served the American beekeepers at Wash- 

 ington, he is now going to serve them in the capacity of editor of our Glean- 

 ings in Bee Culture and our beekeeping books of all kinds. 



George S. Demuth needs no introduction to American beekeepers and it is 

 only to introduce him in his new capacity that his name and likeness appear 

 on this page at this time.
