THE HONEY INDUSTRY.
MARKED EXPANSION SHOWN. BEEKEEPERS’ CONFERENCE. By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. The eighth annual conference of the National Beekeepers’ ‘ Association of New Zealand opened this morning, under the presidency of Mr. W. Watson (Geraldine). There were about sixty delegates from all over New Zealand present, including a number of ladies. Mr. Kirk (director of the horticulture division) attended the conference, as well as other officials connected with the apiary section. Mr. Kirk, in formally opening the conference, mentioned that in 1905 the value of the honey exported from New Zealand was £B5, and in 1920 the total increased to £34,134. In the course of his address, the president said he hoped the conference would again emphasise the serious question of securing better means of controlling disease, which was the most serious factor operating against the progress of the industry. At the same time New Zealand beekeepers might congratulate themselves that they had only one serious disease to fight. They must, however, continue to strive for more inspectors and increased interest from Parliament with a view to improving the status of the industry.
