Convention Notices 



A summer course in beekeeping is being arranged 

 at the Ontario Agricultural College for the week of 

 June 12. It will consist of apiary demonstrations 

 and practice. Day sessions will be conducted in the 

 apiary as far as possible, and four illustrated eve- 

 ning lectures will be given during the week. 



Such special subjects as wintering, swarm control, 

 bee diseases, queen-rearing, requeening, and the like 

 will be taken up in turn, and demonstrated by 

 means of the bees and appliances in the apiary. 

 Students will be given practice in the various man- 

 ipulations under discussion. Instruction will be 

 given by the Provincial Apiarist, assisted by Mr. 

 James Armstrong, Vice-president of the Ontario Bee- 

 keepers' Association, and other prominent Ontario 

 beekeepers. 



Mr. Frank C. Pellett, State Apiary Inspector of 

 Iowa, has consented to spend a few days of the 

 week in attendance and assist in the instruction. 

 He will also give illustrated evening lectures on 

 " Beekeeping in the Mississippi Valley," and on 

 " Our Back-door Neighbor." The latter subject deals 

 particularly with the economic importance of wild 

 life, including bees and insects. Many years of time 

 have been spent by the speaker in its preparation, 

 single families being under observation for months 

 at a time. Many of the slides made from photo- 

 graphs taken from life by the author in the field 

 were secured with great difficulty. Mr. Pellet is au 

 excellent speaker, and a master of the different sub- 

 jects which he will discuss. 



Judging by the correspondence to hand, the inter- 

 est in this course will be excellent. There are no 

 tuition fees charged, the only expense being for 

 railroad fare and board while in attendance. 



The Wellington County Beekeepers' Association is 

 arranging to hold a field day at the College during 

 the week of the summer course. Beekeepers who 

 find it impossible to attend for the whole week are 

 cordially invited to enjoy the good things of the field 

 day, the exact date of which will be announced 

 later.
