THE BEEKEEPERS' REVIEW 



was educated in Paris and it was there that they became acquainted 

 and were married in 1866. She is as devoted to bee-culture as her 

 husband and worked with him in the publishing of both his maga- 

 zines and his books. Versed, like him, in several languages, she 

 translated numerous articles from the English, American and Ital- 

 ian press, and assisted her husband in every part of his labors. 



Willing workers, Mr. and Mrs. Bertrand gave their time freely 

 to apiarian teachings. He gave lectures and demonstrations in 

 both Nyon and Zug, free, for three years, from 1884 to 1887. Pu- 

 pils were sent to him by the French Ministry of Agriculture, for 

 better acquaintance with the new methods. He also taught api- 

 culture at the Agricultural Institute of Lausanne and at the Horti- 

 cultural School of Geneva. 



Ill health compelled Mr. Bertrand, in 1903, to abandon his 

 magazine and his apiarian teachings. But both he and his wife 

 are still affable and kind to the friends they have made in bee-cul- 

 ture. We tested this at our visit in Switzerland in 1913. During 

 that visit, a Paris bacteriologist of the Pasteur Institute, Mr. Meli- 

 koff, called at the Bertrand home for information concerning foul- 

 brood. This gentleman, a Russian by birth, knew Mr. Bertrand 

 only by the reputation that he had gained through active and earn- 

 est labor. But he expressed the consensus of the World's opinion 

 concerning our friend, in a short but well deserved compliment, 

 when he called him "the most celebrated authority on bees in the 

 entire world." 



January, 1915.
