The annual meeting of the Cornwall Bee- keepers' Association was held at the Town Hall, Truro, on March 26, Mrs. Tomn presid- ing. Among those present were Miss Tomn, Miss E. Williams, Messrs. T. R. Polwhele (hon. sec. and treasurer), John Brown, expert, and W. Gibson. The annual report stated that during the past year twelve new members had joined, and about the same number had fallen off. A demonstration and competition for prizes was held at the Royal Cornwall Agricultural Show at Bodmin, but as it was early in the season not much new honey was shown. The bee- tent purchased by the committee was used at Launceston, Callington, St. Veryan, North and South Meneage, Constantino, St. Columb, Redruth, and Mevagissey, and gave great satisfaction. An examination for third-class experts' certificates, under the auspices of the British Bee-keepers' Association, was held at the Royal Cornwall Show, Bodmin ; four members entered and three received certifi- cates. The increased interest in bee-keeping in the county is shown by the greater demand for the use of the bee-tent by local flower shows. Several applications having been made to the secretary for grants to agricultural and flower shows, it must be remembered that the grant from the County Council is strictly con- fined to educational purposes, and therefore cannot be used for prizes. The association, however, is prepared to send its tent and a lecturer to all agricultural and flower shows free of cost, but grants for prizes cannot be made unless applications are received before the annual meeting.
