. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. 390 AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL, June 22, 1899', keeping it down. Our law is so well worded that our bee- keepers don't have to wait for days or weeks before it can be applied; and while it can remain dormant when not needed, it can also be applied for the benefit of any bee- keeper in any county, and at any time, by making applica- tion to the inspectors in their respective counties or district.
