. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. February, 1909. where the snow lies deep during win- ter, was present; he had the distinc- tion of owning bees 300 or more miles away from the place of meeting. Two notable personages of Monterey were present. The one who attracted the most attention was Mr. Sem Ling, a worthy, though probably a very dis- tant, cousin of Ah Sin.
