VoL XLIV—No. Bee-Keepers' Convention Dates. So far as it may be desirable for the same persons to attend two different conventions it is desirable that dates do not conflict. Editor Root's suggestion in Gleanings in Bee Culture may be worth considering. He says : It would be a good thing if those who have to do with fixing dates for conventions would arrange them so they will not conflict with some other convention date, so that one or more speakers can attend them all.
