College Apiary: Together With Practical Suggestions in Modern Methods of Bee Keeping as Applied to Texas Conditions Dear Sir: Herewith I beg to submit a report upon the work accomplished with the Apiary at the College the past six months, since the establishment of the same this season. The year thus far has been a most unfavorable one for surplus honey production and the colonies have been brought in and established and bred up to a strong working force under the greatest difficulties. Mr. Wilmon Newell was selected as Assistant Entomologist in February and was given the immediate charge of the Apiary and its care and development preparatory to experimental work. Much preliminary work has been done under my direction and the basis for much valuable work in the future prepared. Some important suggestions have already developed from the work upon honey plants and the studies made concerning them the past season. Then, too, it has been found that there is a pressing demand for some kind of ready reference and guide for the farmers, truck growers, and fruit growers, who have a few colonies, but who are not familiar with up-to-date methods. For all of these reasons I have asked Mr. Newell to prepare a complete report covering many of the serious difficulties encountered. This will be of great value to the rural bee keepers of the State. His report has been prepared with great care, and I take pleasure in submitting the same herewith and recommending it for publication as a portion of my annual report. Dear Sir: In compliance with your instructions, I beg to submit herewith a report upon the Experimental Apiary, located at the Agricultural and Mechanical College, which was created by act of the Twenty-seventh Legislature.
