Some interesting facts q.bout bumble bees in New Zealand were given in a discussion on a remit dealing with yields of red clover at the annual conference of the agriculture section of Federated Farmers of New Zealand. A delegate stated that of the five species of bumble bee in New Zealand one was very rare, two were short tongued and nipped the bottoms of the flowers, and only the remaining two types were of any use at all. More bees were required, but on account of the stringent quarantine regulations to be satisfied it was impossible for an individual to import them.
