In closing it may be desirable 

 again to state that too hasty con- 

 clusions must not be drawn from 

 the facts here presented. For ex- 

 ample, the records on heat produc- 

 tion might be interpreted as indica- 

 ting the desirability of a cellar tem- 

 perature higher than beekeepers us- 

 ually believe to be best. Experi- 

 ments to test such a theory are 

 now being- carried on, and it is 

 found that a broad statement as to 

 the best cellar temperature can not 

 yet be given. Under most condi- 

 tions colonies cannot be brought to 

 the critical temperature, 57° F. 

 without disturbance. It is hoped 

 that more work will throw some 

 much-needed light on this import- 

 ant subject.

In Indianapolis, Ind. sixteen 

 months age, an association of deal- 

 ers in beekeepers' supplies was 

 forfmed. This association incubated 

 in Cincinnati, Ohio at the 1913 

 National meeting, when it was 

 found that the Delegates at that 

 meeting favored the National con- 

 tinuing the publishing of the Re- 

 view. The object of that meeting 

 was to kill the Review. They saw 

 danger in the beekeepers owning a 

 journal in which they could dis- 

 cuss their own affairs. Especially, 

 did they see the way clear for the 

 members to buy their supplies 

 without their assistance (and pro- 

 fit. ) 



The first mcve they made was 

 to withdraw their support from 

 the advertising columns of the Re- 

 view, knowing that a publication 

 of the Review sort was not much 

 of a money maker, they thought 

 to put us out of business financial- 

 ly. 



Their united withdrawal of ad- 

 vertising of about two pages cut 

 out revenue about $28 per month. 

 Then we have very good reason 

 for believing that their influence 

 caused another page of advertisers 

 to leave the Review. As each Sub-
