More honey is being consumed in New Zealand each year, according to the annual report of the South Auckland Beukeepers' Association, presented at the annual meeting at Hamilton yesterday. Mr. T. Pearson presided. The report showed that the past season had been a successful one, most of the members having secured good average crops.
Good displays had been staged at the Waikato Winter Show, and exhibitors were asked to increase tlie size of their exhibits. The points prize at the show had been won outright by Messrs Pearson Bros.
It was pleasing to note thai many thousand jars of honey were being consumed annually in the Dominion. The fact that the consumption was increasing indicated that the value of honey as a food was being more widely recognised.
