Considering that the Agricultural Committee have at their ser- vice about 60 bee experts, consisting of schoolmasters and others, the whole â county can be covered Math little diffi- culty. It is proposed to organise local associa- tions in all parts of the county, these to be linked up with the County Committee. The work the committee will undertake includes a scheme for restocking the county with healthy and, as far as pos- sible, disease-resisting bees, by establish- ing a number of restocking apiaries under the charge of experts, who will rear stocks which will be distribiited to members of the associations at a fee to be arranged. A fund is to be established to provide the -experts with bees and appliances, and to this it is hoped a generous response will be forthcoming from those who are anxious to resuscitate and develop the bee industry in the county. The scheme is being prepared by a sub-committee, and will, it is hoped, have the full support of every bee-keeper, so that by their com- bined efforts the Government may be pressed to pass -a Bill to stamp out diseases and to encourage beginners in the craft by lectures, demonstrations, honej^ shows, insurance of bees, and the market- ing of bee produce.âJ.
