INDIANA BEE-KEEPERS. Condition of (lie Apiaries of the State — Officers Elected. The Indiana Bee-keepers* Association began its annual meeting yesterday, with over a hundred members in attendance. In the absence of the president, Sylvester Johnson, the vice-presi-dent presided during the morning session. The report of the secretary, Frank L. Daugherty, was presented, and the treasurer, Mrs. L. Stout, submitted a statement of the receipts and expenditures, showing a balance in the treasury of only 56 cents. The sp ring management of bees was discussed at considerable length during the morning. Mr. Davis, of Hendricks county, said that he began feeding his bees early in the season to promote breeding, and then, as the colony would admit, lie spread the brood by spreading the comb. Their tendency was, he had noticed, to work on sugar-water. Almost any kind of food would do lor early feeding, but in the fall none but the best sugar should be used. Mr. Lane, of Boone county, thought it important that the hive should be thoroughly cleaned in the spring, live meal, or some other substitute should do fed until pollen makes its appearance, when the bees will cease work on the meal. In answer to the question, “Is maple molasses good for spring feed?” Mr. Buntain stated that lie had some experience in feeding maple, but did not believe it should be fed without first diluting with water. Mr. Cotton had fed maple syrup for eight years, and thought it a good article of food. •In the afternoon the annual address of the President was delivered. There are now a comFaratively small number of colonies of bees in ndiana. he said. The statistics show that in April, 1883. there were 78.526 colonies in the State, and they had gathered 798,368 pounds of honey. It has been claimed, that on an average 200,000 pounds of honey go to waste every year in each county because there ‘ are no bees to gather it. Reducing this estimates one-half, and the honey-bearing trees and plants of Indiana would produce annually 100.000 pounds in each county, making the total annual production in the State 9,700,000 pounds. This ungathered honey, at the present retail price, would bring nearly $2,000,000, all of which is now lost to the State. A letter from President Smart, of Purdue University, to the president of the association, was read, stating that he would recommend to the trustees that- an effort should be made to encourage the apiary branch of economic industry. “I do not doubt,” he says, “that the project will be approved, provided the Legislature makes an appropriation sufficiently large to enable us to carry on our present work and to add what is suggested. Purdue ought to spend at least ST>,OOO annually on an experimental station. A half success is only a mild term for failure, and as Purdue cannot command funds for a first-class apiary at present it seems prudent to postpone the undertaking till money can be secured to make the enterprise creditable to the university and a real benefit to the State.” An hour was devoted to the discussion of questions relating to the keeping of bees. The officers for the next year were elected. Mrs. Irvin Robbins, Sylvester Johnson, Mr. Schull and I. N. Cotton were nominated for president, but after the first ballot Mrs. Robbins was elected by a unanimous vote. Just as the bees have their queen, so shall the bee-keepers have a queen, was the idea advanced, and it met with general approval. The officers elected were: President—Mrs. Irvin Robbins, of Indianapolis. Secretary—Frank L. Daugherty, Indianapolis. Treasurer—Mrs. L. Stout, Indianapolis. The association will continue in session to-day. shirts for the million at Parkers.
