Typographical errors are the bane of an editor's life. The dropping of a letter "T" in the heading of an account of the meeting of the German Beekeepers' Association, in the August, 1873, issue, made it read in this astonishing way:
"In what manner can he bees be prevented from making useless excursions in search of honey during the early spring months?"
This led to a column editorial of explanation in the following number and some rather pointed comments on the nature of the "He Bees."
