"These meetings are Of great i'm
portance," said Professor Yeaton.
"They are being held with the pur-
pose of creating greater interest in
bee keeping, and the need for this
stimulus is greater this year than
formerly, for the reason that Maine
bees did not winter well last year,
many colonies being killed off by the
cold weather. AS a result of this,
many Maine orchards are suffering
from lack of proper pollination. due
to the absence of sufficient numbers
of bees"
The, first of these field meetings
will be held with Harold Smith at
Bangor on August oath. and the Sec
ond with o. B. Griffin at Caribou.
The speakers will be men of prom
inence in this field Of husbandry.
