ILLINOIS STATE BEEKEEPERS ASSOCIATION

A Brief Glimpse Into the Past

1/31/2014

Ever wondered what was going on 90 years ago?   You can get a glimpse in to the past of the Illinois State Beekeepers Association by reading an annual report from 1924. 

The Secretary was M.G. Dadant (the person who compiled the report).  There were 30 affiliated associations and it appears what is now called Illiana was named the "Illinois & Indiana Beekeepers' Association".

The 1924 Annual Meeting was a 2 day event held at the St. Nicholas Hotel in Springfield, Il.  Among some of the presenters of papers or lectures were C.P. Dadant and Hubert H Root.

Each association submitted and/or presented a report.

The name and address of every ISBA member was listed at the end of the report.
