THE BEE-KEEPERS" REVIEW

The Whole Storeroom on Wheels. 



Large manufacturers are equipping; their storerooms with plat- 

 forms on wheels. Stock is piled on these low platform trucks so 

 that any stockroom boy can easily move stock of heavy weight to any 

 place in the factory without lifting". This is a valuable idea for bee 

 men. Cement floors in the honey houses are becoming more com- 

 mon, so that a platform on low wheels could easily be pushed or 

 pulled from one place to another with little effort. 



Supers both empty and full could be piled on these and they 

 would do away with most of the lifting. 



The wheels should be strong and not over three inches in diameter. 

 The platform should be made such that any drip would fall on the 

 tin top of the truck and be kept free from contact with the supers. 

 The truck platform here illustrated is but a suggestion. — W. F.

February 17-18-19 are days that will be remembered as great 

 convention days at St. Touis. 



The Michigan Branch of the National Association held their 

 annual meeting in the Y. M. C. A. Building, Detroit, December 10-11, 

 as per schedule. The meeting was not largely attended, there being- 

 less than one hundred present at the different sessions. We consoled 

 ourselves with the thought that while the attendance was small, it 

 was of excellent quality, as several very important subjects were well 

 handled by those on the program. The members were so v/ell pleased 

 with the management that the old officers were all unanimously re- 

 elected for the ensuing year. President Morce was elected delegate 

 to the national convention. The next place of meeting will be Lan- 

 sing, which is centrally located and in reach of many convention 

 attendants. The date on which the convention will be held was 

 wisely left with the exe.cutive committee. We will have m.ore to say 

 about this important convention in the February Rf.vievv.
