It may sometimes be madeprofitable, but in the long run it does not if one wants to do it he may, by the useof division-boards or dummies, enlarge orcontract the double brood-chamber about aseasily and even more gradually than he canthe single one. I do not consider that I amany less indebted to Langstroth because Iuse a double brood-chamber. I am using theLangstroth principle in my frames, eventhough they are shallower than the ones heused, and at fixed distances instead of INSPECTORS MEETING. A Report of One of the Most Important Meetings ever Held in the Interests of Apiculture; the Scientific and Practical Side of Bee Diseases. The meeting of bee inspectors, called atSan Antonio, Texas, for November 13, by thecommittee consisting of N. E. France, W. , and Dr. E. F. Phillips, has comeand gone. The attendance of about fiftypersons represented the whole country. Noone who attended thought the time ill the contrary, every one there felt at theclose of the afternoon session that it was aday most profitably passed; in fact, manyexpressed themselves that it was the best beemeeting at which it had ever been their priv-ilege to be present. Dr. Phillips, of the Bureau of Entomology,Department of Agriculture, Washington, , called the meeting to order, and in hisopening remarks gave the history of Europeanfoul brood in this covmtry, and also gave asynopsis of the bee-disease work under con-sideration by the Bureau
