. British bee journal & bee-keepers adviser. Bees. THE Siffidr Ipp. BEE-KEEPERS' RECORD AND ADVISER. No. 492. Vol. XIX 100.] NOVEMBER 26, 1891. [Published Weeklyt (jftritorrial, Ecrttces, #c AN APOLOGY. We have been requested to insert the followiug apology from the Editor of the Journal of Horticulture, which appears in the issue of that journal for Nov. 19th inst., p. 442 :— ' We have received notice that the article which appeared on page 211 of the Journal of Horticulture for September 3rd, 1891, under the heading of " Punic Bees, and Those who Know Nothing About Them," and signed "A Hallamshire Bee-keeper," charges the editors of the British Bee Journal and Record, Messrs. Cowan and Carr, while purporting, in answer to an inquiry, to give all the information in their power about the so-called Punic bees, that they deliberately suppressed facts within their knowledge, and thus gave a false account of matters of interest to the readers of their journals. That the article also insinuates that Messrs. Cowan and Carr have some personal and uuworthy motive for concealing facts which it is plainly stated they must have known. ' There was no mention of Punic bees in the Record of June, 1890, nor has there been any allusion to them either editorially or by any of its correspondents. There is also no statement in the Record for June, 1890, that Mr. Carr had a Punic stock in his possession, and he has never written anything about Punic bees. ' It is suggested that the appearance of the article in question might be due to an oversight, and not to any intention to injure any one. That is certainly the case, for it is far from our desire to make reflections on the reputation of those for whom we have never entertained feelings other than those of true respect, and we now desire to express our regret that the article referred to appeared, and to with- draw all the charges and insinuations therein contained.'
