President V. V. Blackmer of the Yer
mont Beekeepers' association had a re-
union and picnic at his residence in Or
we'll on the Goth inst. About % beekeep-
ers and wives of beekeepers assembled
in his spacious and orderly honey house
and partook of a bOunteous repast until
the inner man WAS satisfied; Jokes were
cracked and every one seemed to have a
good time, but bee talk was the order of
the day. After dinner was over and they
had questioned Mr.. Blackmer about his
various beekeeping appliances to their
satisfaction, an informal convention was
held and various topics were discussed.
Information at this time of the year
seems more beneficial than in the winter.
The average loss of the beekeepers pres
ent for the past winter was reported as
being 273 per cent. A good share of the
loss was attributable to their consuming
more honey than usual and therefore be-
ing short of stores. Other things were
talked over until late in the afternoon,
when all separated for their homes, eX-
pressing sympathy for the ones that
were not there and feeling well paid for
a day spent at this the first semi-annual
reunion and convention of the Vermont
State Beekeepers' association. Long may
