The idea that a tiee-journal. or some feature of it, must never be commended, criticised, or dis- cussed in a convention is more a fashion than one of good sense. Now here's a chance for an honest differ- ence of opinion, and we dare say that Bro. H. stands almost alone in his view of the matter. Of course that's all right, we stand nearly alone sometimes, but this time we think the majority is with us. Judging from that Beview editorial, bee- papers would be fit subjects for experiment stations to test, the same as any other bee- keeping utensil or necessity. Now, we'll suppose all of them were sent to the Michi- gan station to be tested. Bro. Taylor would begin the work, and he"d find that the lie- view is the only one that publishes his re- ports of experiments, or those that do copy them won't give what he considers proper credit. Therefore, the Rndew is the best bee-paper—for Bros. Taylor and Hutchin- son. Certainly; no one would question that. Brethren, we are ready at any time to have the Bee Journal discussed with the rest, but what good would come of it ? You might as well discuss the character and reputation of John Jones, or Mrs. Grundy, but what would there be gained in so doing ? We regret that we must again differ from Bro. Hutchinson, but really we feel too modest to care for notoriety or adver- tising to be gained in that way. We prefer to let each reader think and act for himself in the choice of a bee-paper. If he doesn't know enough to know what he wants, why then he certainly wouldn't profit much by reading any bee-paper. *' Xlie Hoiiey-Bee: Its Natural History, Anatomy and Physiology," is the title of the book written by Thos.
