The grant of a sum not exceeding £'500. which has been made on the recommenda- tion of the Development Commissioners, will enable the British Bee-Keepers' Asso- ciation to do much-needed work in the gen- eral organization of the industry, including the promotion of county bee-keeping asso- ciations and the giving of lectures of an elementary and introductory type calculated to attract the interest of country audiences to the advantages of bee-keeping. A further grant of £i5u has specially been allocated for the purpose of enabling an ex- perimental apiary to be provided in a suit- able central situation, such apiary to be equipped with the requisite modern appli- ances used in bee-keeping for demonstra- tion purposes. In connection with the api- ary there will be arrangements for the training and examination of lectures; con- sequently there ought to be in course of time a marked improvement in the qualifi- cations of these officials, whose services have in recent years been so much requisi- tioned by county councils. It is not at all improbable that the number of these will have to be materially augmented owing to the impetus given to apiculture by State assistance. There is an experimental apiary in the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris, where varie- ties of frame hives can be inspected and ad- vice obtained as to the most suitable to be used, the manipulation of colonies of bees being demonstrated by capable officials. In- teresting evidence was laid before the Development Commissioners on April 27 last, by Mr. Walter F. Reid, one of the wit- nesses, as to the interest taken by the gen- eral public in this apiary.
