THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



meeting, and the Colorado Honey 

 Producers' Association, althougli not 

 affiliated, are going to do the honors 

 by spreading a banquet for the dele- 

 gates and members. The admission 

 will be by* ticket, free to the guests, 

 and to visitors a charge will be 

 made. The Denver Beekeepers are 

 setting out to ma :e this an occa- 

 sion long to be remembered. Those 

 who miss it will oi:ly regret it once, 

 and that will be i^ I their lives. 



Everybody shoula wear a "bee 

 button" so they ■/ill be easily 

 recognized at the Burlington Sta- 

 tion, Chicago. If you have none, 

 let me know and one will be mailed

Kind Words 



"Hansford, Fla, Dec. 9, 1914. 



"Have received the December copy 

 of the Bee-Keepers' Review, also half 

 a dozen back numbers, and am more 

 than pleased; for what I am looking 

 for is the experiences of beemen in 

 the extreme south, near my own sur- 

 roundings, as having nearly the same 

 conditions under which I am operat- 

 ing. — E. ^] Rennolds." 



Again, , nd' * date of December 17, 

 Mr. RennoitiS adds: 



"I owe you a debt of gratitude for 

 introducing me to the Review. I had 

 fully realized that I had failed here- 

 tofore to get what I wanted from 

 correspondents elsewhere, who operat- 

 ed in fields so radic^ily different from 

 mine.— E. M. Rennolds." 



We copy in part from a letter un- 

 der date of January 4th, as follows: 



"The Review is appreciated by 

 many beekeepers whom I know per- 

 sonally, and through correspondence."

The Bee-Keepers' Review: 



I enjoy reading the Review very 

 much, and wish to say that the South 

 is becoming awakened to the possi- 

 bilities of bee culture. The South is 

 going to be the greatest honey pro- 

 ducing center of the United States. 

 Our great resource is our climate. 

 No winter losses and the consequent 

 expense of winter cases or other pro- 

 tection during winter. The bees are 

 left upon their one stand the year 

 'round, with no attention, excepting 

 to raise the hive up from the bottom 

 board for summer ventilation and 



lower it in fall to keep enemies and 

 robber bees out. Wishing you and 

 all a prosperous new year, and that 

 your contributors will give us facts, 

 not theory, in the future, yours for 

 progress,

Lemorres, Col., Dec. 12, 1914 

 Editor Review: 



You will see that I have returned 

 the expiration blank (without the 

 dollar). Sorry it is so, but to tell you 

 the truth about the matter, the bee- 

 keepers here in this valley are up 

 against it. There has been no offer 

 for honey here (I mean extracted — 

 there is no comb honey made here) 

 that was worth considering. I think 

 Gugenhiem's man from San Fran- 

 cisco was up here and offered some- 

 thing like 3i/4c per lb., but no one 

 sold any. I expect that there are 

 15 or 2U car loads of honey here in 

 King's and Tulare Counties. I think 

 the market will open up after a while. 

 We have just had a good rain here 

 and the storm has put a good coat- 

 ing of snow on the mountain so the 

 prospect looks good for a crop in 1915. 

 When the weather is clear we see the 

 snow on the mountains plainly. Dis- 

 tance lends enchantment to the view 

 to me, but it certainly does look good 

 to us valleyites. I am well pleased 

 with the Review and certainly don't 

 want it stopped. I have gotten ideas 

 from a single number that were 

 worth more than the subscription 

 price and I want to know what is 

 going on and keep in touch with the 

 bee people. I take Gleanings also. 

 About the cover, I can concur in what 

 Adrian Getaz says in the December 

 number, page 470, also the yellow 

 cover usually contains some fine 

 printed matter and it is harder to 

 see to read it than it is on the white 

 cover. 



I like the series of articles by J. 

 J. Wilder and J. A. Pearce. I think 

 they are practical and up to date. I 

 was especially pleased with the arti- 

 cle by Wesley Foster on "Getting an 

 Education at Home," and I will have 

 to say a good word for the Secre- 

 tary's Corner. His article in the De- 

 cember issue reads about right to me. 

 I am going to try and get some sub- 

 scribers for the Review and if times 

 open up after a while and money gets 

 a little more plenty I want to put 

 in my mite toward the Review Delt.
