They are quite willing to listen to our requests and to the reasons for them. But bee-keepers must remember that organization creates the force that doubles the power of influence and makes it effective. Second, by the eneonragement of those in charge of the experiments, by the manifestation of a more active interest in the work on the part of bee-keepers. The experimenters are human. To some extent they are feeling their way, for the work is new. They would like to know that the importance of the work itself, if not their particular part in it, is appre- ciated. Such a knowledge would prove a powerful stimulus to the production of more valuable results. Third, by the more active co-operati(jn of apiarian journals. Many valuable hints might be given by the editors and their. Hon. R. L. Taylor, Lapeer, Mich. able correspondents. I do not seek flattery, nor even just praise. Courageous, incisive, honest criticism would be more welcome. If the journals do not disclose interest in the work, it is likely to die early. Fourth, from confirmatory experiments undertaken by individual bee-keepers. Reports of such experiments would prove a valuable aid in determining the value of results ob- tained at the stations ; but, better than that, such experi- ments would be an education to the individuals and at the same time would make the fact manifest that bee-keepers are interested. Fifth, experiment stations are not to be employed for the benefit of existing apiarists only-—they should be used for the advantage of the whole people. Most of the honey-resources are made to yield nothing for want of bees to gat
