NATIONAL CONVENTION, CINCINNATI, OHIO, FEB. 12-13. 



A Brief Report of the Annual Convention of the Pecos Valley 

 Branch, N. B. K. A. Held November 21, 1912. 



Members of this branch met in convention -at Roswell, Xew 

 Mexico, on November 21, President R. B. Slease presided. Abont 

 five thousand colonies of bees were represented by those present. 



In addition to the bee-keepers there were present some of the 

 leading orchardists. Mr. Robt. J. Beers, of Roswell, a very success- 

 ful fruit grower, spoke about thirty minutes in the interests of api- 

 culture with its relation to the fruit grower, stating the honey bee 

 to be of great value in the growing of large and perfect crops of 

 fruit. 



The proposed amendments to the constitution (see pages 430, 

 431 Bee-Keepers' Review) were approved with the exception of Sec- 

 tion 3 of Article IV^. It was deemed advisable to have all member- 

 ships expire at one date, thus simplifying the records. Henry C. 

 Barron, secretary, was elected delegate to the National convention 

 at Cincinnati, Ohio, February 12 and 13th. 



The question of buying supplies was taken up and thrashed out 

 to some extent.
