At a meeting held at Fleet on Friday evening, March 15, it was decided to start an Association, to be named " The Fleet and District Bee-keepers' ; The objects of the Association are to assist cottagers and bee-keepers by supplying them with bee-keeping appliances and assisting them in the management and care of bees. Quite a satisfactory start was made with ordinary members, and four life members were secured within three days from start. Any bee-keepers in the district will be made very welcome amongst the members. The following committee was ap- pointed:—Mr. A. Goddard, Mrs. Deacon, Mr. Prizeman. Hon. treasurer, Mr. W. Goddard. Hon. secretary, Mr. J. Ritchie, Clydesdale, Fleet, ;.0., Hants, from whom further particulars may be ob- tained. NOTES FROM FRANCE. I thought that you would like to have a few Bee notes from France.
