HONEY INDUSTRY
MEETING OF BEEKEEPERS’ ASSOCIATION. PEB PBESS ASSOCIATION. CHRISTCHURCH, June 8. The annual conference of the New Zealand Beekeepers' Association opened to-day. The president, Mr James Allen, in his opening address, referred to the more stringent measures being taken to combat it. He paid a tribute to the officers of the Apiary Department, but contended that ithe Work at the grading ports prevented inspection work being effective enough. Motions were carried requesting increased vigilance to prevent the introduction of diseases, and that the importation of bees and queens ho immediately stopped. A committee wag appointed to report on the question of adopting a new grading system, so as to allow inspectors to concentrate on inspection work. It was decided that no bees, hives, or appliances shall bo removed from one country to another without the written consent of the inspector for the district. Several delegates spoke with reference to a statement, published widely throughout the Dominion, that returned soldiers could make £S per week at bee-keeping, pointing out the statement was misleading, in that it painted things in too rosy colours.
