. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. J. J. Wilder. - natural to a Southerner to read of swarming in April than in July. Some 20 pages are occupied with illustrations of hives, bee-keepers' implements, etc. In the last 40 pages are found articles re- garding bee-keeping conditions in the different Southern States, each written by a resident of the State of which he writes. The pamphlet is in paper covers, well printed on good paper, and it is to be regretted that lack of care allowed some blunders in writing, as where it is said, page 9, that a worker becomes a field- bee when 8 or 10 day
. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. J. J. Wilder. - natural to a Southerner to read of swarming in April than in July.

The pamphlet is in paper covers, well printed on good paper, and it is to be regretted that lack of care allowed some blunders in writing, as where it is said, page 9, that a worker becomes a field- bee when 8 or 10 days old; or on page 6, where the royal larva is said to be fed 6 days, when "the queen enters her larval state in the cell, and continues thus for about 10 ; The author favors Italian bees, and of the two kinds of black bees found in the South prefers those with "a brownish waist, and short, dubby ;. The other variety is black, and has a longer and smaller abdomen, seeming to be a wild race, "very spiteful, and furious ; The price of the book is 50 cents,, postpaid: or with the American Bee Journal for one year—both for 90 cents.

Tennessee State Association At the close of the Course in Apicul- ture given at the University of Tennes- see, at Knoxville, recently, a State Bee- Keepers' Association was formed. The following officers were elected: Presi- dent, Prof. G. M. Bentley, State Ento- mologist and Plant Pathologist, Knox- ville, Tenn.; Vice-President, Henry Cook,. Springfield, Tenn.; and Secretary and Treasurer, John M. Davis, of Spring Hill. Much enthusiasm was demon- strated in the organization of this asso- ciation, the list of membership has in- creased rapidly, and additional names are being received daily. The annual meet- ing is to be held conjointly with the State Horticulturists and Nurserymen in Nashville during the last week in Jan- uary, 1909. Apiarian Pictures
