BEE KEEPERS’ CONVENTION. 
Last year there was a swarming and hiv¬ 
ing of bee keepers, in two rival National 
Associations, at, about the same time—one 
at (mlianapolis and the other at Cincinnati. 
A sober second thought convinced the lead¬ 
ers of both Associations that a home In one 
hive would be better than the rivalry of two. 
Accordingly, when the time came about for 
the annual meeting, both Associations,—one 
called the American and the other the North 
American, were convened at Cleveland, and 
a union was amicably effected, under the 
stylo of North American Bee Keepers’ So¬ 
ciety. 
Over a hundred delegates wore in attend¬ 
ance, coming IVom widely separated portions 
of the country, from the Eastern Stales of 
the Atlantic coast, from Canada on the 
North, Kentucky on the South, Missouri 
and Minnesota on the West, as well as from 
all the intermediate Slates. 
I have heretofore said that the apple men 
are the most devoted and enthusiastic in 
their profession, but I must say the bee men 
(ami women) are quite up to the horticultur¬ 
ists, at a pow-wow over their favorite pur¬ 
suit. 
The discussions at, this Convention were 
very interesting to the craft, but as the in¬ 
formation is out of season at this time, I 
will reserve the subject of what was said 
for a more complete chapter, to be reported 
at another lime. 
The bee keepers are a jolly, pious and 
poetical sort of people, as they had lots of 
fun in their meeting, and tired olf squibs 
of verses like rockets, and, to make up a lull 
assortment, had prayers and singing as a 
part of their exercises; so we conclude that 
bee keeping, like pomology, is highly condu¬ 
cive to good morals. 
During the season of last fall Pairs, Air. 
lloitACK CllKKI.KV visited tllC WOSl, 10 It’ll 
what ho knew of the virtues of wind and 
water in agriculture and how much of pow¬ 
er and fertility was lost, to the nation by 
neglecting these great, elements. Not to he 
outdone in matters of national economy, the 
bee keepers propose to have, a linger in the 
agricultural colleges, and to stir up all the 
Governors, alter the manner of the following 
resolution, which was introduced by Mr. 
Hugh Cameron, of the District of Colum¬ 
bia, ami adopted by the Society : 
Vi ii i'-HKaH. Millions of wealth have been annually 
lost to tilt! people throuKli Igiioniucu of lieu culture, 
and 
Wlir.uaAS. It l» tho tledre and object of this Con¬ 
vention to enhance improvement mid prosperity la 
till* regard, therefore 
lUnolueil, That we earnestly recommend the ap¬ 
pointment of tin apiarian professor in ouch of the 
agricultural colleges on lint continent, and that wo 
respect fully onII tint iittnntton of Stain and other 
executives to this .subject. 
Resolved. That the Secretary bo Instructed to for¬ 
ward copies of these resolutions to the Governor* of 
nil tho Slat ox. Territories titid lTovIncux in North
