. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. 12 THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. Jan. 6, Joining the New Union, Etc. Enclosed find our membership fee to the United States Bee-Keepers' Union. Kindly let us have any circulars or information you have regarding the duties, etc., ex- pected of each of the members of the Union, as we wish to do our portion of the work to down the adulteration of honey, as we consider ourselves situated in a good field to look into this question, owing to there being a great deal of adulteration carried on in and around New York City at the present time. We produce considerable honey our- selves, but not enough to supply our trade; we therefore have to buy outside, and it is while doing this that we come across the adulterated article. The glucose question is one which is a source of great annoyance to us at times, especially when we find we are obliged to lose a sale by not being able to compete with the adulterated article. We started out with the intention of sell- ing only the genuine article, and intend to stick to this resolution right along. We find it a source of great encouragement to see how some of our customers appreciate what we are doing tor them, once they reach that point where they feel they are dealing with honest people, and can rely on what we tell them regarding pure honey. ^ We hope the Bee Journal and the United States Bee-Keepers' Union may be success- ful in the lines of work they are under- taking, by trying to enforce laws against adulteration, and by keeping the bee- keepers out of the clutches of the dishonest commission-men.
