The work on bee-diseases has been continued through the year, and it has been showit that the annual loss from these dis- eases, conservatively estimated at $2,000,000, may be considerably reduced by the application of better methods of manipulation. Testing of different races of bees has been carried on near Washington, and a study of the pro- duction and care of extracted honey, a study of the present status of bee-keeping, experi- ments on mating queens in confinement, and other work looking tow-ard the bettering of apiculture has been under ; No doubt bee-keepers will be inter- ested to learn the details of the work that has been conducted by the Depart- ment of Agriculture through the Di- vision of Entomology, along the line of bee-diseases, testing different races of bees, etc. Some of this work has been described in special bulletins, which we have announced from time to time.
