IN making this, my fifteenth and last annual report to the members of the National Bee-Keepers' Union, I labor under peculiar disadvantages. My eyes refuse to serve me to see or read anything, and I am obliged to say that I shall be compelled to retire from the active management of the Union on account of this disa- bility. During the past 15 years, I have labored assiduously to maintain bee-keepers' rights and defend them when assailed by jealous and envi- ous persons. In this work, the Union has been very fortunate. It has won victories over strong op- position, and judges, courts and jurors have affirmed the rights of bee-keepers who have been de- fended by the Union. On account of the short crop of honey in nearly all parts of the United States, during the past year, there has been less manifes- tation than usual of the animosity of the enemies of the pursuit. When prosperity is not very appa- rent, envious neighbors do not usually trouble apiarists, or seek to abridge their rights and privi- leges. The National Bee-Keepers' Union has, as usual, in all instan- ces maintained its record of tri- umph by either smoothing out the difficulties or crushing the oppo- sition. Frank S.

In ray last report I detailed the case of his arrest and imprisonment for keeping bees in the corporate limits of Santa Ana, Cal., of the trial and subsequent appeal to the Superior Court, and triumph therein. In the meantime, his bees had been removed, and the question came up concerning their return to the spot from which they had been taken. I gave counsel to Mr. Buch- heim in this matter, and all trouble seems to have been averted, fully ending the difficulty. Tkoublesome Neighbor Foued.—Last February I re- ceived a letter of complaint from Mr. R, h. Mead
