 Maladies. 



Transportation Problems vs. the 



Spread of Infectious Bee Diseases. 



Resistance of Race, Variety or 

 Strain of Bees in European Foul Brood 

 Suppression. 



This is a very preliminary announce- 

 ment. For details, information or sug- 

 gestions of subject to be considered, ad- 

 dress Dr. 'B. N. Gates, Amherst, Mass. 

 The subject of spraying in relation to 

 beekeeping will doubtless come up for 

 consideration, being closely associated 

 with apiary inspection work.

Report of the Indiana State Con- 

 vention 



(Continued from December Xumber; 



C. H. Baldwin gave a brief resume 

 on the inspection work done the last 

 year. Indiana has one of the best 

 laws of almost any state, and our 

 able inspectors handle the disease very 

 successfully. 



The Tuesday session was opened by 

 C. P. Dadant's masterly paper on 

 "The History of Beekeeping." It is 



not necessary to say that the sub- 

 ject was ably handled. His treat- 

 ment was characteristic of the able 

 man who has modestly and quietly 

 aided in giving American beekeeping 

 the standing it has. 



The question box conducted by Mr. 

 Kindig demonstrated what Dr. Mil- 

 ler told me once when I asked him in 

 regard to a proposed program: 

 "\oung man, you need no program. 

 You can do better with a question 

 box than with a dozen set programs." 



Mr. Neilson, of Anderson, supple- 

 mented Mr. Davis in his number, deal- 

 ing with "The Divisible Brood Cham- 

 ber." Considerable discussion fol- 

 lowed this number. 



The Hon. Mason J. Niblack, of Vin- 

 cennes, was elected president; C. H. 

 Baldwin, vice president; Geo. W. Wil- 

 liams, secretary; and E. A. Dittrich, 

 treasurer. 



As there were a number of mem- 

 bers who were expecting to attend 

 the Denver meeting, it was proposed 

 that all of the members there present 

 should confer and share equally the 

 duties of the delegate. Mr. B. F. 

 Kindig was named as the delegate, 

 and John Bull, and E. S. Miller alter- 

 nates. 



A resolution was passed endorsing 

 the action of the legislatures in pass- 

 ing the present Foul Brood Law, and 

 asking them to still support and con- 

 tinue it.

49th Annual Meeting of the Michigan Affiliated 

 Bee-Keepers ' A ssociation 



East Lansing, Mich. Dec. 9th and 10th, 1914 



The annual meeting of the Michi- 

 gan Affiliated Bee-Keepers' Associa- 

 tion was held in the Entomology 

 Building of the Michigan Agricultural 

 College, East Lansing, on Wednesday 

 and Thursday, December 9th and 10th. 



President Jenner E. Morse, Sagi- 

 naw, occupied the chair and called the 

 meeting to order. 



Owing to the unavoidable absence 

 of the Secretary, Mr. O. H. Schmidt, 

 together with the records of the last 

 meeting, the reading of the minutes 

 of that convention was dispensed with. 



President Morse, after welcoming 

 the beekeepers to the convention, 

 spoke of the necessity of awakening 



the Michigan beekeepers' interest in 

 the work of the association. More 

 members were needed so that the 

 funds in the treasury would be large 

 enough to warrant more expenditure 

 in making up the program and pro- 

 viding larger and more numerous pre- 

 miums for the honey, wax, and ap- 

 iarian exhibits of the beekeepers. 



Mr. David Running, of Filion, Mich- 

 igan, entertained the meeting with a 

 valuable address on "Out Apiaries and 

 the Production of Extracted Honey 

 in Huron County." Having had a 

 varied experience with several hun- 

 dred colonies of bees, Mr. Running 

 spoke with the authority of one who
