ample stores OF honey and the honey
SO situated that they can partakr Of It

Hungry bees will freeze. and losses
largely occur from starvation. Bees
starvc with plenty Of honey In the
hive. This IL true from the fact that
during a long spell OF continued cold
weather owing to the intense cold the
cluster Of bees In the hive Is unable to
expand In the lenst. to move sldewlsc
but a few inches, to where the honey ID
located. Thus they stnrve and then
freeze with plenty OF food In sight,

that the bees hive access 70 the honey

THE OLD SETTLERS.

Fargo, May 22.--'rhe official call for
the tenth annual meeting of the old
settlers Of the Red River valley has
been issued by Secretary Loalnsberry.
The meeting will be, held at Park
River June u and ;13. All settlers
who were in the valley prior to July
Il, 1879, are eligible to membership.
The wives of settlers of that date and
all children born to that period are
honorary members. The settlers who
arrived prior to July, 1861, are also
honorary members. 1t has been sug-
gested that the 1901 meeting be held
in Pembina on August II, as that will
be the fftieth anniversary Of the
arrival of Uncle Charlie Cavalier Of
that city in the valley. and really
marks the beginning OF the settlement
of the valley by the white men.
