Abstract 
The Texas Agricultural Experiment Station is conducting investigational work in 
bee keeping with head quarters in Bexar County, near San Antonio, Mr. H. B. 
Parks in charge. It is planned to make a thorough study of honey plants and of 
nectar secretion. There are two experimental yards in charge of well versed, prac¬ 
tical bee keepers, one in southwest Texas and the other in north Texas and also small 
apiaries at each of seven different sub-stations. 
The foul brood control work is vested in the chief of the Division of Entomology 
as State Entomologist with two inspectors attached to the office and ten local in¬ 
spectors distributed in various parts of the State. A numerical summary of the work 
is given. Treatment for American foul brood is discouraged and destruction of the 
infected colonies urged.
