HONEY PRODUCTION
PROBLEMS OF THE INDUSTRY
(0.C.) W ELLINGTON, Friday. Stating that from a production standpoint beekeeping was the most precanotis primary industry upon which one could embark, the Director-General of Agriculture, Mr. A. H. Cockayne, in opening the annual conference of the National Beekeepers' Association of New Zealand referred to some of the difficulties being experienced by the industry. The season, he said, has been a poor one, with production distinctly below local absorptive capacity. Prices and the general marketing of honey appeared to be satisfactory, he said, though there might be some who did not agree with that. The number of registered hives was tending to drop, though not by much, the fall in two years amounting to 4000 hives. While that was regrettable, it was hoped that it would not become any more pronounced. The transport position was a problem.
