THE BEEKEEPERS' REVIEW 



Field Notes From Iowa 



(Continued from page 338) 

 Colo last week. He took me to three of his out apiaries and we 

 went through all the bees in two of these and found the most of the 

 colonies in good shape, some preparing to swarm and nearly all 

 starting well in the supers. Mr. Hall has the management of his 

 six apiaries down to a fine point and with the honey flow as good as 

 it is at present he should have a good crop this year. 



The date of the Tri-state summer meeting at Hamilton is 

 changed from August to the 7th of September to be held in connec- 

 tion with an inspectors' conference at Keokuk the 8th. This will 

 make a double incentive for the beekeepers to attend. There are 

 to be several noted beekeepers from different parts of the U. S. and 

 Canada. Among them are: Dr. Phillips, Prof. Sladen of Canada, 

 Inspectors France of Wisconsin and Millen of Michigan and it is 

 hoped to have Dr. Miller and Mr. A. I. Root present to speak at the 

 meeting. An evening meeting will probably be planned for on the 

 7th.

Bee Meetings Next Fall 



Some time ago a committee was appointed 

 to arrange the dates of next winter's conven- 

 tions on the circuit plan as far as possible. 

 Several months havi_- been required to a>'range 

 the dates to the satisfaction of all concerned. 

 The States joining in the circuit and the dates 

 on which conventions will be held are as fol- 

 lows : 



:. Ohio Nov. 26-27. 



2. Illinois Nov. 29-30. 



3. Kansas Dec. 1-2. 



4. Missouri Dec. 3-4. 



5. Minnesota Dec. 7-8. 



6. Wisconsin Dec. 9-10. 



7. Indiana Dec. 10-11. 



8. lowH Dec. 13, 14, 15. 



9. Michigan Dec. 15-16. 



10. Chicago-Northwestern Dec. 17-18. 



From the above dates it will be seen that 

 conventions will be in session continuously ex- 

 cepting Sundays. By this plan, speakers of 

 prominence will be able to attend a number 

 of conventions without inconvenience. If the 

 dates could have been conveniently arranged, 

 less travel would have been necessary by hav- 

 ing adjoining States follow each other. Some 

 dates were fixed and the other meetings had 

 to be adjusted to them. It is to be hoped that
