THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



30 : 



(The idea advanced above by 

 our friend, Mr. Hassinger, is time- 

 ly and to the point. Especially at 

 this season, when all the central 

 markets are feeling the congestion 

 resulting from a heavy crop of 

 honey, and somewhat duller times 

 financially, it is well to harp even 

 to the point of being thought 

 "daffy" on the subject on the 

 central thought of the article above, 

 that only by educating the local 

 markets all over our land can we 

 ever hope to have prices for honey 

 reach a level more in accord with 

 the advancement of all other food 

 articles. Ed.) 



lOditor Review: — I intend keep- 

 ing one or two hives of bees in 

 the residence district of Pittsburgh, 

 but would like to know, before 

 joining your Association, what laws 

 1 would have to comply with (i. e.) 

 How far the hives must be put from 

 neighbors, highways, etc., to re- 

 ceive your protection? Thanking 

 you in advance, I am 



Truly yours, 



ALEX LIMPERT. 



(I do not think your state, nor 



any other, has a law defining the 



distance you should keep your 



bees from the highway or dwell-

 summer meeting at the Hall Apiary, June 10th, 1914 



The register of names shows more 

 than sixty persons present at the 

 second field day held at the Hall 

 apiary at Colo, Iowa, June 10. The 

 Halls did everything possible to 

 make it pleasant for their visitors 

 and those present felt amply repaid 

 for the time and expense neces- 

 sary. Some came from more than a 

 hundred miles and the attendance 

 would have no doubt been larger 

 had it not been that so many bees 

 were swarming and other meetings 

 are to be held within a short 

 time. 



Prof. Bartholomew of the State 

 Agricultural college was the speak- 



er of the day and held the close 

 attention of his hearers while he 

 talked on the value of scientific re- 

 search to the bee-keeper. Prof. 

 Bartholomew is planning extensive 

 investigations in connection with 

 his department and is the kind of 

 a fellow to make his work practi- 

 cal to the every-day bee-keeper. 



A number of subjects were dis- 

 cussed and much time was spent 

 in the apiary examining the hives 

 and equipment and looking for 

 queens.
