A Brief Report of the Convention Held by the Twin Falls Branch, 



N. B. K. A. 



The Twin Falls County Bee-Keepers' Association held a very 

 interesting meeting at the Commercial club rooms on Friday after- 

 noon, December 20. There was a good attendance of bee-keepers 

 present from all over the country. 



The annual report of the secretary-treasurer showed a rapid 

 growth of the association for the past year as well as an increased 

 interest in bee culture. The secretary explained in a brief manner 

 the way in which foul brood is spread from one colony of bees to 

 other stands. 



Dr. D. I\ Albee, of Rock Creek, gave an interesting talk on th-e 

 destructiveness of foul brood among the bees and the value of the 

 honey bee as a pollenizer. 



O. E. Carlson was then called upon and favored the association 

 with a splendid talk along the same lines. 



J. Benj. Hall gave an instructive talk on the value of the hone}^ 

 bee as a honey gatherer compared to its value as a pollenizer, which 

 showed that its value as a pollenizer was four times greater than its 

 value as a honey gatherer.

 there is several thousand stands of bees here and with a good honey 

 year there would be several cars of honey shipped from the tract. 



The association elected the following officers for the ensuing- 

 year:
