THE BRITISH BEE JOURNAL. 117 and was plainly shown in my letters, were solely to assist in bringing about a better state of things in bee-keeping in Britain, chiefly through legislation, giv- ing as example the result of legislation controlling bee-keeping in New Zealand. All Mr. Manley's remarks about the dif- ference in climate between England and New Zealand are beside the mark. I never tinted that the industry of com- mercial bee-keeping in England would be carried out on so extensive a scale as in this country; but what I have said, and still maintain, is, that you are not getting as much out of bee-keeping as you would were the like energy and push exercised by British bee-keepers in taking action to bring about improvements as has been and is still the case with New Zealand beekeepers.
