GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



527 



The BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW has added a new 

 feature. It is called the 



Department of 



riticism 



It is condvicted by Mr. R. T^. Taylor, of I<apeer, 

 Michigan, who is a fair-minded man and a broad 

 thinker. To this may be added years of experience 

 in a large apiary. He also, for several years, had 

 charge of the Michigan State Experiment Apiary, 

 and made some of the most practical experiments 

 ever made with bees. 



Attempts at criticism are often couched in language 

 so apologetic and "mealy-mouthed " as to nearly rob 

 them of all force; but Mr. Taylor's criticisms are mo.st 

 vigorous in style, and, thus far, his main shafts have 

 been aimed at the views and teachings of some of the 

 most prominent writers. It is my hone-st belief that 

 this department is to result in untold good by warn- 

 ing bee-keepers against the fallacies that will creep 

 into the journals in spite of the best of intentions. 



The editor of the Aiiieiicaii Bee-kccper, a man who 

 has had years of practical experience with bees, wiites 

 me that " That new Department of Criticism is a rare 

 morsel." In his journal he gives it the following 

 public notice : 



" In addition to its intensely critical conden.sed view 

 of bee writings, by E. E. Hasty, together with other 

 marked improvements, the Bt-r-krcpi'i s' A'fTifji' has 

 introduced a new ' Department of Criticism.' The 

 initial C of the department heading inclo.ses a minia- 

 ture medallion half-tone of Hon. R. i,. Taylor, of the 

 Michigan State Agricultural College [He is not con- 

 nected with the College now. — En. /?t'V!t'7i'.]. by whose 

 very able pen the criticisms are conducted. The 

 Rn'ii'w is indeed a unique publication — a credit to its 

 editor and an honor to its supporters: and, in point of 

 interest to advanced apiarists, its new department is 

 second to none of those previously established. We 

 are proud of our sprightly, artistic, and edifying ex- 

 change."
