AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL 



March 



Western Beekeepers' Association, and 

 they each gave of their experience in 

 a manner that was very much appre- 

 ciated by the people in attendance. 

 Taken as a vv'hole, our meeting was 

 quite a decided success. 



O. F. Whitney, Secretary. 



Texas Honey Producers 



January 17, 18 and 19, the stock- 

 holders of the Texas Honey Produc- 

 ers' Association met at the headquar- 

 ters in San Antonio. This was the 

 largest meeting of the Association 

 ever held. Many who have been mem- 

 bers of the Association since its be- 

 ginning visited the headquarters for 

 the first time. 



The financial report showed that 

 even in these unsettled times, things 

 were in fine shape. Because of the 

 increased capital stock from $15,000 to 

 $65,000, nine directors were selected 

 Of the $65,000 only a very few shares 

 are unsold. 



The members voted to become af- 

 filiated with the American Honey 

 Producers' League and to help in the 

 advertising campaign of that body. 



The following directors were elect- 

 ed: 



W. C. Collier, Hillsboro (formerly 

 Goliad), President. 



W. O. Victor, Uvalde, Vice Presi- 

 dent. 



Alma M. Haselbauer, San Antonio, 

 Secretary. 



Louis H. Scholl, New Braunfels. 



Wm. Zimmerman, San Antonio. 



Ambrose Johnson, Laredo. 



R. A. McKee, Velasco. 



E. G. LeStourgeon, San Antonio, 

 Manager. 



The annual meetings are always ac- 

 companieid by social meetings, as 

 this is conducive to the fraternal 

 feeling of the Association. The an- 

 nual Mexican supper was held at 

 Casa del Rio with a large number 

 present. 



The last day was spent in inspecting 

 the packing plant. The new blending 

 tanks, with their attendant net- 

 weight fillers and can pluggers, were 

 in operation. This was the first visit 

 of the members to the packing plant, 

 and it was of such interest to them 

 that the most of the day was spent 

 there. On the final meeting a num- 

 ber of resolutions were adopted, 

 among which is the following: 



Whereas, The beekeeping world has 

 lost through death its most beloved 

 member, 



Resolved, That the Texas Homey 

 Producers' Association hereby ex- 

 presses its debt of homage and grati- 

 tude to the memory of Dr. C. C. Mil- 

 ler, and sanctions the movement for 

 the establishment of a Fellowship in 

 Beekeeping in some one of our Agri- 

 cultural Colleges as a fitting me- 

 morial to him, and requests that its 

 members support the movement for 



the establishment of this memorial, 

 and further 



Resolved, That they ooTnmend the 

 action of the beekeepers of America 

 who inaugurated this movement and 

 upon whose shoulders falls the bur- 

 den of its establishment, and assure 

 this committee that they have the 

 support of the Texas Honey Produc- 

 ers' Association. 



Use of Honey 



The Department of Agriculture of 

 the Province of Quebec is issuing 

 Bulletin No. 68 in both English and 

 French, upon "The Use of Honey and 

 of Maple Sugar in Cooking." It is a 

 16-page pamphlet which contains 

 about 50 different recipes for making 

 honey food preparations, drinks and 

 candies, and a few similar directions 

 for the use of maple sugar and syrup. 

 The bulletin was prepared by Mrs. 

 B. L. Vaillancourt. 



Heavy Loss Last Winter 



The last year was a very good 

 honey year. The fatality of 1920 will 

 niQit be forgotten for a long time, 75 

 to 80 per cent would be placing the 

 loss below the actual count. The 

 colonies that were left did well dur- 

 ing the season. Honey sold at 35 to SO 

 cents per pound; good markets in 

 coal towns. I have been in the bee 

 business over 50 years.
