AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL 



October 



Apiary of H M Leach & Sons 



Gates to Ontario 



Dr. Burton V Gates lias resigned 

 his position at the Massachusetts 

 Agricultural College at Amherst, to 

 become Provincial Apiarist of On- 

 tario. He succeeds Morley Pettit, 

 who recently resigned to devote his 

 entire attention to his commercial 

 apiaries. Doctor Gates has been a 

 prominent figure in the beekeeping 

 world for some time. He was form- 

 erly a member of the apicultural staff 

 in the U. S. Department of Agricul- 

 ture and later head of the beekeep- 

 ing department at Amherst. An ex- 

 tended announcement by Air. Pettit 

 will appear in a later issue of this 

 journal. 



Australian Surplus. — According to 

 the Australasian Beekeeper then is a 

 large surplus of honey still waiting 

 for shipping space for export to 

 Europe. There is said to be a sur- 

 plus from this year's crop in New 

 South Wales alone of two thousand 

 tons. The total available from Aus- 

 tralia is estimated at from three to 

 four thousand tons. The better or- 

 ganization of New Zealand beekeep 

 ers is given by another journal as 

 the reason for their better success in 

 getting their product to market. 



Value of Co-operation. The New 

 Zealand ( 'o-operal ive 1 l< >nej I 

 ers' Association announce that they 

 have a good selling organization in 



Great Britain and thai thi luxe se- 

 ured a guarantee of a minimum net 

 price of IS cents per pound to their 

 members for a period of thri i 

 fi illou ing the « ar. This is 

 double the guaranteed price previous 

 to the war. To beekeepers whi 



to go half way round the world to 

 get to market a guarantee of IS 

 cents net for their product for three 

 years after the war i~ vrn good This 

 is a striking instance of the i 

 organization. Just now our Ameri- 

 can bei ifil ing by the 

 demand, but tin!' 



.mil art in li.imn m\ they 



ul that thi 



other i have captui 



foreign market when the war is over. 

 i a mighty good time for the 

 beekeepers to organize and prepare 

 to offer their crops together. Or- 

 ganized beekeepers are getting, even 

 now, higher prices than the unor- 

 ganized ones are getting. A total of 

 several carloads attracts the big 

 buyer, who cannot be tempted by the 

 small offering of a single beekeeper. 

 Colorado beekeepers set the example, 

 but other States are rapidly falling 

 into line. Idaho, Texas and now Cali- 

 fornia, are getting well organized. 



Honey for the Boys at the Front. — 



According to the New Zealand 

 Beekeepers' Journal, honey has been 

 i oil, ( ted for shipment to their boys 

 at the front, under direction of the 

 Red Cross. Approximately five tons 

 were sent, the packing being super- 

 intended by Mr. L. Bowman, who was 

 formerly Government Apiarist at 

 Christchurch. Since many of the boys 

 write that they miss the sweets 

 which they have been accustomed to, 

 the honey should prove acceptable.
