NO. 24. 



The Colorado State Bee-Keep- 

 ers' Association will meet on Jan. 16th 

 and 17th, 1893, instead of Jan. 18th 

 and 19th, as before announced. Those 

 who expect to attend the meeting will 

 please remember this slight change of 

 time, which Mr. H. Knight, the Secre- 

 tary, asks us to announce. 



The Illinois State Bee-Keepers' 

 Convention "call "is received, and reads 

 as follows: 



Hamilton, Ills., Dec. 2, 1892. 



The Illinois State Bee-Keepers' Asso- 

 ciation will meet in Springfield on the 

 14th and 15th of this month. We hope 

 all the friends of the bee will make it a 

 point to attend this meeting. Illinois is 

 one of the best honey-producing States 

 in the Union, and should have a bee- 

 keepers' association second to no other 

 State society of this kind in the United 

 States. We trust the leading bee-keepers 

 of the State will meet with us, and we 

 also extend a cordial invitation to our 

 friends from other States. Many mat- 

 ters of importance are to be discussed. 

 All bee-keepers are cordially invited.

Bee-Keepers' Terms.-A new 



dictionary of the English language is 

 now being prepared for publication, 

 called the "Standard," and our good 

 friend Dr. C. C. Miller has wisely been 

 selected to edit the part referring to the 

 words or terms used in bee-keeping. 

 This will insure correctness at least in 

 the portion of the dictionary treating of 

 anything relating to our pursuit. 



Dr. M. wrote us as follows about it 

 requesting that all bee-keepers who are 

 able to do so, should aid him in this 

 work : 



Marengo, Ills., Nov, 29, 1892. 



Friend York : — A new dictionary 

 called the "Standard" is about to be 

 issued. It is supposed to be an advance 

 on Webster. All doubtless know that 

 bee-keepers' terms are not in very good 

 shape in existing dictionaries. Well, 

 we have some chance in the coming 

 dictionary, for the publishers have made 

 me one of the special editors. 



I would like to get hold of all bee- 

 keepers' terms that are omitted in the 

 dictionaries, or that need different defi- 

 nition. I will be obliged if you will send 

 me any such, or if you will make a call 

 in "the old reliable" for postal cards 

 with such to be sent to me. 



C. C. Miller. 



Now, let all who can help Dr. Miller, 

 send to him whatever they think needs 

 correction, or that should be added in 

 this new dictionary.
