BEE KEEPING IN RHODE ISLAND. 11 



Moderate spotting of hives when bees fly in winter and spring need 

 cause no alarm, but if the trouble seems excessive about any par- 

 ticular hive, it had better be opened and examined. 



In case of trouble or suspected disease, bee-keepers are requested 

 to write to the Entomological Department, State Board of Agricul- 

 ture, State House, Providence, R. I. 



The Entomological Department of the State Board of Agriculture 

 has in preparation a bulletin on Modern Bee Culture written especially 

 for Rhode Island conditions by the author of this article, and fully 

 illustrated. When published it will be sent to all who will apply 

 to John J. Dunn, Secretary of the Board of Agriculture, State House, 

 Providence, R. I.
