THE BEEKEEPERS' REVIEW 



they are entirely beyond where they 

 can reach them, in cold weather, as 

 in no way can they get out from be- 

 tween the combs they are between to 

 go to others. So if they did not have 

 adequate supplies above them they 

 would starve with, as I have before 

 said, a quarter of an acre of honey 

 all about them, if not in the spaces 

 they are clustered in. This, I think, 

 will make it clear to you why we 

 should place the storage receptacles 

 above rather than on the sides of the 

 bees. And this placing the extra hive 

 body above, is one of the fundamental 

 principles of the Pearce Methods. 



Attention Iowa Beekeepers 



The Polk County Beekeepers' Association 

 will hold its annual picnic and field meet the 

 second Wednesday in July at the N. J. Harris 

 apiary about one mile north of Highland Park, 

 a suburb of DesMoines. Arrangements are be- 

 ing made for several good speakers and a 

 number of demonstrations will be given. This 

 will be a basket picnic, each one taking his 

 own lunch. The picnic is not limited to mem- 

 bers of the Association nor to beekeepers re- 

 siding in the Polk county. Beekeepers from 

 all over the county are welcomed and a large 

 attendance from outside the country is ex- 

 pected. 



Respectfully, 



The Polk Co. Beekeepers' Ass'n.

CHICAGO — There are very few sales of 

 comb honey to report on, but white comb

 no surplus on sale, as receipts are chiefly 

 small lots from parties who have kept more 

 for their home market than was needed.

 ing sold. Prices on the amber grades range 

 from 5c to 7c per lb., white 7c to 9c per 

 lb. according to kind and quality.
