<<George had been a beekeeper for
almost 70 years when he started the pink pages. He started the Maryland
State beekeepers.>>

George Imirie started the Montgomery County Beekeepers Association in Maryland.  The Maryland State Beekeepers Association was started in 1908 (a little before George's time), but Maryland did name their annual award for education for George Imirie.  See https://www.mdbeekeepers.org/george-imirie-education-fund/ for his history and a copy of a Washington Post article about him from 2007.
