Each group wanted to be the favored one, each wanted to dominate the market, and be favored in the buying of supplies. A few years of tliis kind of competition con- vinced the managers of such associa- tions that even large State or re- gional associations must either be united or have some understanding as to their common interests. Growing up along with the bee in- dustry were certain other industries which were wholly or partially de- pendent upon the facturers of bee fixtures, comb-foun- dation and publishers of bee papers were entirely dependent on the bee- men, and those of honey containers partially so. These men, whose liv- ing depended just as much upon the bee as that of the bees" owner, were not included within those asocia- tions. At the same time the trans- portation of bee fixtures and prod- ucts became great enough to attract the express and railway companies, and likewise many other firms had more or less interest in beekeeping. This multiplicity of interests, clash of activities and strife for suprem- acy, resulted in the formation of the American Honey Producers' League. If this succeeds, its component parts will have to give up the selfish idea of rushing honey to market to get a high price and spoil future sales. In- stead of glutting the market, they must help create a market so that not only they, but other men, may sell. They must remember that manufacturers, printers, transporta- tion agencies and even schools are vitally interested in bees, and where such parties desire, bust be admitted to the League. It is far easier to gain the desired point by a co-opera- tion of allied interests than to gain the same by sheer force of the dom- inant party.
