COLORADO eEEKEEPERs.
Made No Profits Last Year But Are
Not Discouraged.

Denver-To devise means of i'm
proving the quality of their stock
formed the principal topic of discus
sion at the State Bee Keepers con-
vention, which opened its convention
at the Chamber of Commerce Tuesday
morning. About 100 of the leading bee
keepers of Colorado were in attend
ance. Acting President NJ. A. McGill
presided.
In contrast with the general report
of last years meeting, when it was
shown that the honey crop was the
biggest recorded in many years, the
yield in the last year has been almost
a failure throughout the state 1t was
feared several months ago that the
bees would not live throughout the
year, but with the favorable weather
bee keepers agree that they have had
few losses so far, and if no severe eli
matte conditions are encountered in
the next two months, they believe
their stock will survive until June At
present, however, they have not suffi-
cient honey to live on, and most keep
ers have been obliged 10 give them
other feed
One of the strongest points urged
was the necessity of raising superior
kind of bee.
AT the session Wednesday, numerous
papers treating on the various meth
DDS of the proper maintenance of the
bee and the hive were read and dis
cussed. The different subjects were
taken up separately, and this session
was of greater interest to the dele
gates than any of the others. Gen
eral discussions resulted in the dis
closure of important information con-
cerning the industry.
The following officers were elected:
President, w. P. Collins. Boulder; vice
president, Frank Rauchfuss, Denver.
secretary, G. Tomlin, Fort Collins;
treasurer. Mrs. r. A. Rhodes, Platte
