To his Excellency, Hon. John P. Altgeld, Governor of Illinois: Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith the Second Annual Report of the Illinois State Bee-Keepers' Association, which would have issued one year ago, but for the last Legis- lature having failed to appropriate to continue the same, when it was thought wise to delay it to the end of the next year. There being no compensation to the Secretary outside of the Association (which about pays for the time spent in cor- respondence) for all the work of this report, we are not able to boast of the earliness in which it is presented. Respectfully submitted, JAMES A. STONE, Secretary. ,-^MMm — — *" -«—*»j'y»=-v —, — ^-" fpP?«WW^«spwff^B'"i«*.''ii'^''-*»^*'^'?^'*T?TPF'"*«r'^^*»'r7=*'^^^ "ars"^ fir^'^R.

These fragmentary finds are particularly difficult to identify using traditional forensic techniques. We present on a calotte from Greene County, Indiana, submitted to us as a forensic case. It was missing the face and skull base, allowing for only seven measurements to be entered into FORDISC®3.0 (GOL, XCB, WFB, UFBR, ASB, FRC, PAC). Discrepancies in FORDISC®3.0 results for the Greene County calotte prompted an examination of results for ancient American Indian female crania from the Schild site (AD 700-1250) in west-central Illinois. We learned that (1) ancient Midwestern American Indian females tend to be misclassified in FORDISC®3.0; (2) the likelihood of having a result with a posterior probability above 0.800 increased as the number of measurements entered into FORDISC®3.0 increased; (3) an increased number of measurements entered into FORDISC®3.0 do not guarantee a more accurate result. We propose that the application of FORDISC®3.0 in cases such as the Greene County calotte is unreliable, and should not be used to exclude an ancient American Indian identification.

H. Noel Ellis 13 Department of Metabolic Biology, 14 John Innes Centre, 15 Norwich Research Park 16 Norwich, 17 NR4 7UH, United Kingdom 18 19 20 21 1 22 Abstract 23 From a letter Gregor Mendel wrote to his brother-in-law, and a photograph of a large group of people in 24 Paris, it is known that Mendel visited the International Exhibition in London in August 1862. There has 25 been speculation about the status and composition of this travel group; for example, whether it was an 26 official delegation from the city of Brünn. There has also been speculation on whether Mendel visited 27 Charles Darwin on that occasion. We have now found a partial list of participants of the second 1862 28 pleasure train (Vergnügungszug) from Vienna to Paris and London, which includes Mendel’s name. The 29 names of 158 participants make a partial reconstruction of the travel group possible. Digital newspapers 30 were researched to get more insight into the status, residence, and profession of the participants. Most 31 belonged to the upper-class of the Austrian Empire, among them several citizens of Brünn. Such 32 luxurious all-inclusive pleasure trains were a new phenomenon in Vienna at the time and received much 33 attention in the newspapers.

  • First Flights in South Australia's Systematic Beekeeping and Honey Harvesting First Part
    First flights in South Australia's systematic beekeeping and honey harvesting First part Bridget Jolly jitbtnunbrtlnlgp.. T lJtt lJanb. • The first issue for 1881 of Bienen Zeitung. Organ des Vereins der deutschen und österreichischen Bienenwirthe (Nördinglen) signed by beekeeper Rudolph Fiebig. Foreword The early Adelaide clothier's shop, The Bee Hive, on the corner of Rundle and King William Streets, displayed a large gilt-coloured skep beehive sign on its front.1 On the same site, on a later building erected in 1895-1896, is a coiled straw skep simulated in masonry. It is surmounted by a gold and black bee that wakens to the east – as is often customary for hived bees – which is a fitting mascot for one of South Australia's 'arts, manufactures, and productions' encouraged in the 1800s by organisations such as the South Australian Gardeners' Society, the South Australian Chamber of Manufactures (SA Chamber of Manufactures), the Department of Agriculture, the Government Export Produce Department, and beekeeper organisations. In the early 1880s there were 200 or so beekeepers in the Adelaide metropolitan area, probably all employed in other vocations.2 The number in outer rural areas for the same period is unknown; but eventually, these commercial beekeepers came to depend on accessible railway routes and freight reductions to increase their marketing success. In 1884 the first South Australian Beekeepers' Association (SA Beekeepers' Association) was formed. The politics of the uneven sequence to the Second World War from this and other associations of beekeepers to a union, a league, and a co-operative society of honey 1 producers, is not discussed here.3 Important as were the beekeepers' sympathies for forest conservation, and their protests against timber-cutting for the Wallaroo and other mines and land clearance by graziers, neither are these connections discussed.

  • Beekeeping Basics Part 2: Introduction to the Bee Hive
    Beekeeping Basics by Jon Zawislak University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture Cooperative Extension Service Part 2: Introduction to the Bee Hive Modern techniques of keeping honey bees in tidy, stacked rectangular boxes is relatively new in our long association with the honey bee. There have been many types of bee hives used throughout history, and there are a number of styles still in use today. You may be familiar with images of the straw baskets called skeps that were once widely used. But today most places in the U.S. require beekeepers to employ some type of moveable comb hive. These hives allow us to remove a single comb at a time, so we can inspect it for signs of disease, evaluate the productivity of the queen, and assess the space in the hive for brood and honey storage. And we can do all of this without destroying the nest structure and the hard work of the honey bees. We can rearrange a bee hive to expand its capacity, or to consolidate it to a smaller volume, or encourage the bees to focus their work in different areas of the hive. We can also open the hive to inspect the bees and their home with a minimum of disturbance that was not always possible when using bee gums or skeps. No matter where honey bees make their homes, they always do so by building vertical beeswax honey combs, which hang down from the roof of a cavity or sheltered location, and they expand their nest by building additional combs parallel to each other.
