HONEY CROP PROSPECTS
It was thought earlier in the season that bee-keepers wore likely to experience another bad season for honey yield because of tho backward and wintry conditions that prevailed well into December preventing a sufficient supply of honey producing flowers, especially clover. With the acceptable change from wintry to summer conditions that have been experienced for the past six weelcs tho prospects have entirely changed, and a good yield is now confidently expected from all quarters. It is stated that apiarists arc giving much wore attention to the control of diseases that have worked such havoc in their hives in tho past, with tho result that foul brood is .being gradually eradicated in districts where bee-keeping is systematically conducted. Several prosecutions have been instituted by tho authorities this year, and thus enforcement of the provisions of the Apiaries Act is bringing the careless to a sense of their responsibilities in assisting to promote a higher standard of efficiency.
