Langstroth
No. 66.—Edward Kretchmer.
The subject of our sketch this week is another of the leading bee-keepers whom we had the pleasure of meeting often during the World's Fair last summer, and whom it was always a delight to see on our weekly visits to the apiarian department in the "White City."
E. KRETCHMER.
The Progressive Bee-Keeper—the paper from which we take the subjoined sketch—says this of our Iowa friend:
Mr. Kretchmer is one of the pioneers of Western apiculture, a man of whom the bee-keeping fraternity may be proud, and one who has received many honors, both from those of his calling, and the public at large.
