1889 - "Educate The People To Eat Honey"

No clue why I an interested in reading about long gone exhibitions...but I am.  

Mr. Hershiser was a very active organizer and seems to be involved in whatever is going to happen if it includes honey bees.  This show is the Bee and Honey Show held in Buffalo, NY reported in the May 25, 1889 issue of the American Bee Journal.

The last paragraph is amusing.

1893 - Orel L. Hershiser's Disquieting Announcement

A friend was able to winkle this article from the archives of the New York Times for me.  The descriptions of the reactions to this news of live bees at the fair by the various organizers of the Columbian Exposition is really nicely done - made me smile.
