HAMILTON COUNTY BEE-KEEPERS' ASSOCIATION. 



The next monthly meeting of the Executive Com- 

 mittee of this Association will be held in the Grand 

 Hotel. Cincinnati, on Monday evening, March 14, at 

 7 30 P. M. These meetings are becoming very inteiest- 

 ing to bee-keepers, as is evidenced by the attendance 

 of members, and others interested in the success of the 

 industry in this locality. The Association reminds 

 bee keepers of the approaching opening of spring 

 honey-flow as being the season that requires their in- 

 creased vigilance and attention to detect the possible 

 re appearance of foul brood in the apiary in infected 

 localities and to become familiarized with the remedy 

 for its prevention and cure. Those who are not con- 

 versant with the mcdei n successful methods of treat- 

 ment are invited to be present at our monthlj' meet- 

 ings, where much valuable information and practical 

 instruction are to be gained through the reading of 

 papers, and open discussion by the members, so that 

 they may he enabled to treat the disease themselves.
