First observational records of the 2000 June Bootids as submitted by 29 observers from 12 countries are presented. Very weak activity of the shower was observed and a geocentric radiant position at alpha =220+-0.5, delta =+51+-1.0 was obtained. The population index computed is only a suggestive value of r=3.0+-0.8. If higher ZHR values are attributed to a shower maximum, this would have a half-peak width of roughly 1 in solar longitude (about one day) and a peak value of ZHR=2. The problems of minor-shower radiant search and activity analysis are discussed. It is concluded that the activity of minor showers radiant search and activity analysis are discussed. It is concluded that the activity of minor showers with ZHRs less then 1.0 cannot be reasonably determined by visual observations.
