[ The Fanciers' Journal ]
This animal-fancy weekly, originally entitled The Fanciers' Journal and Poultry Exchange before dropping the latter part of that title although it continued to publish items on pigeons and poultry as well as dogs, was published in Philadelphia, PA, beginning in 1874.
The June 13, 1891, issue carried the following brief note:
Lititz, PA, June 6. — A dog with a bumble bees' nest in the shaggy hair about his neck was what Linn Shelly found in his possession when he tried to clip his big Newfoundland pet. A number of cells were found containing wax, and several bumble bees were discovered protecting their home on the neck. (373)
