This is a good move, and will help the membership to keep in close touch with what is trying to be done by the Association. If you are not now a member, send four dollar at once to Mr. Abbott, and get in line to help the whole bee- keeping industry as well as yourself. One Continuously Starting Cells.—After a colony has beeu queenless for a considerable time, it can not be counted on for doing good work at starting iiueen-cells. But by the right management there need be no difficulty in having good cells continuously started throughout the entire season in the same hive, if not entirely by the same bees. All that is needed is the addition from time to time of frames of brood. This has a two-fold effect; It keeps up the supply ot young bees, and also furnishes young brood to be fed, thus keeping up the preparation of a bounti- ful supply of the right kind of nourishment for the prospective queens.

The exact date has not been decided upon, but the first ses- sion will probably be held Tue
