Apiary Conditions Deemed Iniquitous’ In South Island
(P.A.) DUNEDIN, May 7. Beekeepers in Otago and Southland are not a little concerned at what they sa v will be the inevitable effects of the proposed Apiary Registration Act if it comes into force in its present draft form.
Criticism is levelled principally against a clause providing for the registration of sites and the stipulating that these must be at least two miles apart.
This does not refer to domestic apiaries which are conducted as a hobbv. but it will affect many young returned servicemen in the province. It is contended that these men will be forced out of the industry if the Act becomes law.
The provisions of the proposed act are described as “iniquitous” in that they penalise instead of encourage young men in the industry. When the proposed act is discussed at the Dominion conference of beekeepers at Rotorua in July next there will be strong opposition to it from beekeepers in the south.
