Bee-Keeping at the Ontario Agricultural College The Short Course in Apiculture at the Ontario Agricultural College, held from May 1-6, 1911, at Guelph, Ont., was the first Short Course of its kind ever held at the Ontario Agricultural College, and it was a success. In all, 43 bee-enthusiasts were in at- tendance, including 8 regular apicul- tural students of MacDonald Hall, and (i other ladies from different parts of the Province.
