. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. 94 AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL March may arouse suspicion on the part of the honey dealer and supply manufac- turer that he is not welcome, or is an interloper. The motive behind the movement to make it entirely a bee- keepers' organization i the suspicion that some beekeepers have of hcney dealers. Some think that their inter- ests are not identical. The largest and most successful honey dealers and bee supply manufactiwers are those who are most intimately con- nected with honey production. In fact, they develop intoi the handling of honey and the manufacturing of bee supplies for the reason that they were first successful beekeepers. The movement will encounter oppo- sition unless it is all-inclusive and unless the competitive elements can be united in co-operation. One of the unfortunate features of all bee- keepers' organizations is that good speakers, intelligent men, but who are very distantly related to the bee- keeping industry, join the associa- tions, probably for the reason that they seek the opportunity to push ahead and think there is an oppor- tunity for creating a position for themselves. They are doubtless at- tracted first to- the beekeepers' or- ganizations because they own a few colonies of bees and became inter- ested in them in this way. They at- tend the beekeepers' conventions, have a good time, make friends, and the first thing you know they have been elected to some office and im- mediately propose a lot of new ideas which have been brought up every year during the last ten or twenty years, but eventually play out or are turned down by the beekeepers' or- ganizations upon mature considera- tion. I believe we would do well if in our beekeepers' organizations we would elect no one to an office who had not been a member of some beekeepers' organization for at least five years. It would be preferable if he had been a member of some organization for ten years. We would have more sta- bility in our as'^ociation
