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.
