At the Virginia State Fair, to be 

 held on Oct. 22-24, it is expected that 

 there will be an unusually tine display 

 of everything iu tlie apiarian line; a 

 great variety of bees and queens, 

 smokers, hives, bees at work, etc. 

 The wax-working department will be 

 fully shown, from rendering the comb 

 into wax, refining, and making into 

 sheets, with samples of wax from the 

 wax extractor from the crude to the 

 sheets ready for the hive, together 

 with the outfit of a full apiary. 



The Agricultural Society is doing 

 what it can to render this department 

 an interesting feature of the State 

 Fair, and by this means to supply the 

 best practical information to persons 

 desiring to keep bees, either as a bus- 

 iness or to provide themselves with 

 honey for home-use. 



To carry this intention more fully 

 into effect, the Society proposes that 

 the bee-keepers of Virginia and other 

 .States shall hold a bee-keepers' con- 

 vention on the third day of the Fair, 

 October 24, for the full discussion of 

 every matter connected with bees- 

 food, handling, preservation, apiarian 

 implements and hives, best varieties, 

 etc; and as this industry has now 

 become of wide extent and impor- 

 tance, it is expected that there w ill be 

 a large assembly of amateurs as well 

 as professionals, and as the meeting 

 will be open to all, much valuable 

 information will be imparted to those 

 who attend for the purpose of obtain- 

 ing knowledge on the subject.
