A. AND M. COLLEGK APIARY. 53 



bee keepers and their interests in every part of the United States, regard- 

 leas of whether the bee keeper be poor or rich. One of the main objects 

 of the National Association is to prevent the adulteration of honey and 

 to promptly prosecute all offenders. It also looks after the individual 

 rights of its members in their relations to other industries., and protects 

 them when unjustly attacked or prosecuted, and in every possible way 

 forwards the interests of the industry. As a membership in the State 

 Association also includes membership in the National Association, 

 besides many other advantages, it will be seen that this should not be 

 neglected. Further particulars regarding these associations can be had 

 by addressing the Secretary of the Texas Bee Keepers' Association, at 

 present Mr. Louis H. Seholl, of Hunter, Texas. 



4. Where special problems arise, or where specific information upon 

 any phase is desired, as well as information on honey plants, the Depart- 

 ment of Entomology of the Agricultural and Mechanical College, at 

 College Station, Texas, is prepared to give information and answer 

 questions of this kind. All such services are, of course, rendered with- 

 out charge. , 



5. At the Agricultural and Mechanical College instruction in Bee 

 Culture is given to students in the Agricultural, Horticultural and 

 Science courses of study. In addition to this, a person desiring to enter 

 the College for the purpose of making a special study of bee keeping is 

 permitted to do so. Every necessary equipment and instructors are pro- 

 vided therefor. Arrangements for such a course can be made by corre- 

 spondence with the Department of Entomology, College Station, Texas. 



SUPPLIES. 



The beginner in bee keeping will desire information as to where to 

 secure supplies, etc. By consulting any of the bee journals, advertise- 

 ments of manufacturers and dealers in such supplies will be found. 

 Catalogues from a few leading firms of this kind should be secured,, 

 which, aside from their quotations, usually contain much of an instruc- 

 tive nature, the study of which will be profitable to the bee keeper. Of 

 firms in Texas, we may mention the A. I. Boot Co., having a branch 

 supply house at San Antonio, and agents at various points over the 

 State; J. K. Hill & Co., of Uvalde, carry a very complete line of sup- 

 plies ; while W. E, Graham & Son, Greenville, and W. H. White, Blos- 

 som, Texas, are manufacturers of hives and other supplies.
