Beekeep- ers differ in their ideas as to how. and by whom it should be done. And while some have proclaimed the work entirely satisfactory there are those who believe it has been carried on in too much of a desultory manner to do the most good and that entirely too much attention has been given to cer- tain localities at the expense of others that needed inspection just as badly. It has even been averred that ascertain amount of favoritism or par- tiality toward one or two particular localities has been shown. While the work has been attended to with the greatest vigilance in one or two chos- en fields, complaints were made that foul brood bees were being moved from one place to another or exposed in various ways in other territory. It is doubtful, however, whether these cases were promptly reported so that proper attention could be given. ^TIC WORK NECESSARY.
