The Ohio State Bee-keepers' As> 

 annual meeting in joint conviiiticm 

 Bcc-kccpcrs' Society, at Cnluiiilius 

 business session of the Ohio Hce-ki 

 held Oct. 4, to elect officers for the 

 transaction of other business. Th' 



•lation will hold its 6th 

 ,ith tile North American 

 let 3. 4. and 6. A special 

 lers' Association will be

NORTH AMERICAN CONVENTION. 



The North American Bee-Keepers' Society will hold its an- 

 nual meeting Oct. 3, 4, and 5, in the Represenatives' Hall, at 

 the Capitol, in Columbus, Ohio. The passenger-traffic asso- 

 ciations will grant reduced rates only when 100 persons are 

 present holding railroad certificates. Owing to the short 

 honey crop, it is feared that a sufficient numoer of pejsons 

 will liot be present holding certificates, and that an attempt 

 cm the part of the society to avail itself of the reduced rates 

 offered by the passenger-traffic associations will result only 

 in disappointment; hence it has been decided that the only 

 course open will be to allow each man to shift for himself— 

 to either take advantage of such excursion rates as may be 

 available in his vicinity, buy round-trip tickets, or something 

 of the sort. W. Z. Hutchinson, 



Sec. N. A. B. K. S.

Black and Hybrid Queens For Sale. 



For the benefit of friends who have black or hybrid queenR 

 which they want to dispose of, we will insert notices free of 

 charge, as below. We do this becouse there Is hardly value 

 enough to these queens to pay for buying them up and keep- 

 ing them in stock; and yet it is oftentimes quite an accommO' 

 dation to those who can not afford higher-priced ones. 



I have 5 mismated Italian queens which will pro- 

 duce no black bees, which I will send to any ad- 

 dress for 30 cts. each; satisfaction guaranteed.
