Beekeepers' Picnic in North Idaho 



Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Sires, who op- 

 erate a number of bee-yards in Bon- 

 ner County, Idaho, under the firm 

 name of Sires & Sires, very cordially 

 invited all the beekeepers in that re- 

 gion to attend a picnic and field meet 

 on June 26, at their home apiary, 

 about 10 miles from Sandnnint, and on 

 the high bluff shore of Lake Pend

 friends and neighbors, attended the 

 picnic. Mr. Virgil Sires and a bee- 

 keeper nephew from Yakima, Wash., 

 were also present. The Sires broth-

 quarter of a century, and produced 

 honey by the carload. Sires & Sires 

 now have several hundred colonies in
