He was a member of the Council of the Hospital Saturday Fund, a governor of Brompton Hospital, and for many years had been on the Council of the British Bee-keepers' Association. Mr. Bevan was superin- tendent of St. Marylebone Cemetery, Finchley, for 30 years, retiring from that position about a year ago. Mr. Bevan commenced bee-keeping 30 years ago, his interest being aroused by his acquaintance with a Mr. "Ward, of Highgate, who had about half a dozen stocks in movable comb hives. He not only liked honey as a food, but held that bees were very necessary to the gardener for fertilising blossoms, masses of which he produced for decorative purposes. Though he did not go in for bee-keeping on a large soale, he derived great pleasure.
