TIfE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPEK. 



107 



The Bee-Keeper has arranged with 

 Mr. R. M. Bundy, Clevehind, Ohio, 

 who is a microscopical expert, to uiake 

 examinations for bacteria in svispicioiis 

 specimens. The charge will be $1 for 

 each specimen examined. We will en- 

 deavor to give proper cave to any honey 

 or brood supposed to contain lo'il brood 

 or other disease genus wli^ioh onr read- 

 ers may send us, and report t lie result 

 in the Bee-Keeper. 



more frequently. All are welcome, 

 whether living in the North, South, 

 East or West. 



Twenty-two years ago last winter, 

 \\'. Z. Hutchinson made bee hives, 

 using old lumber from the hay mow as 

 bottoms, lath for sides, and shingles 

 as a roof, and he is to this day advo- 

 cating the home-made hive. This is 

 evidence prima facie that Brother 

 Hutchinson is endowed with forbear- 

 ance, patience, calmness, composure, 

 endurance, fortitude, leniency, long- 

 sufPering, resignation, submission and 

 sufferance to a degree that amply mer- 

 its all the success he has achieved in 

 the realm of apiculture. We no longer 

 wonder, however, that he has decided 

 to withdraw from the ranks of the 

 practitioner and henceforth confine 

 his efforts to the mere advocacy of 

 hand and home-made hives. The 

 quietude of the Review sanctum is a 

 solace worthy of his virtues. 



The possession of an observation 

 hive would put an end to guessing in 

 many instances, and enable the apiar- 

 ian student to speak with confidence 

 upon points now more or less obscure. 



I like the Bee-Keeper very much and 

 enclose $1 .50 on subscription account. — 

 L. H. Dawson. 



A Texas subscriber who writes of hla 

 appreciation of The Bee-Keeper, thinks 

 more .space should be given to the dis- 

 cussion of matters relative to the 

 South, and asks if a page may not be 

 devoted to the novice in bee culture. 

 We have repeatedly assured our 

 friends, the beginners, that our col- 

 umns are opeii to them, and their let- 

 ters always receive careful attention. 

 If more w^ould write, more space would 

 be devoted to their letters. They need 

 not be restricted to one page; we shall 

 try to take care of all seekers after 

 apiarian knowledge that may apply. 

 We hope to hear from the beginners 



I like the way The Bee-Keeper is 

 conducted, and admire it fearless way 

 of setting forth matters pertaining to 

 our pursuit. — T. S. Hall.
