National Bee-Keepers' Society.— 



Mrs.L.II:irrison,Peoria,OIlls., writes: 



At the last meeting of the North 

 American JJee-Keepers' Society, at 

 Detroit, St. Louis, Mo., was taken 

 into consideration as llie second place 

 of meetins of this Society, Mr. Dadant 

 and myself favoring that location. 

 Do the bee-keepers of the South and 

 West favor this location V If so, will 

 they give it their hearty support V It 

 would be well for those thus located, 

 to express their views before the next 

 meeting at Indianapolis, eitlier 

 through the Bee Journal or to Mr. 

 Dadant or myself. A place of meet- 

 ing, wisely chosen, has much to do 

 with the prosperity of the Society. 



Introducing ftueens.— L. J. Keyes, 

 Nora Springs, (5 Iowa, on June 23, 

 1886, asks : 



In introducing a queen to the hive, 

 are her attendants put nito the intro- 

 ducing cage with tlie queen, or only 

 the queen herself V 



[Only put the queen in the intro- 

 ducing cage. Let the accompanying 

 bees fly away. Their presence in the 

 hive would be annoying, and might 

 result disastrously.— Ei>.] 



Bees Doing Well.— Ernst Bern- 

 schein. Ft. Dodge,© Iowa, on June 

 ao, 1886, says : 



We are having very dry weather 

 just now, but bees are doing very 

 well gathering honey. There has beeii 

 but little swarming so far. \\'e are 

 about two weeks ahead this season, 

 and our prospect is very good for a 

 honey croj). I have 88 colonies of 

 bees of my own, and 12 which I am 

 keeping on shares. 



Enlisted for the War.— Dr. Geo. H. 

 Kidney, Birmingham,© Ala., writes 

 on June 24, 1886: 



I wish to become an active and 

 living member of the National Hee- 

 Keepers' Union. I am bound to help 

 our cause to the uttermost in every 

 way, if it costs twice what is asked. 

 Let us have a decision on that Cali- 

 fornia case that is just. Witnesses 

 should know eoncerijng what they 

 swear about in such cases. 



" Don't stop "—that is what many write 

 to us about their papeis. when their time is 

 nearly out. One subscriber says : " It is not 

 convenient for me to send the money now 

 to renew ray subscription. It runs out with 

 this month ; but don't stop sending it. I will 

 get the money to you ^pithin three months." 

 Such letters are coming every day, and so 

 for the present we have concluded not to 

 stop any papers until requested to do so.
