BEE AND HONEY SHOW.
FOOD VALUE OF THE PRODUCT. The fifth annual national two-day show of bees and honey, organised by the Kent and Surrey Beekeepers' Association, and held last month, was the largest that has been held under these auspices, entries numbering 1000, a.s compared with 850 last year. Sir David Burnett said that if_ it were not for the hive bees British crops of apples, pears and other fruit would be negligible, so small would be the quantity. Bee-keeper.s were therefore. carrying on a work of very great importance, although this was not sufficiently recognised. It was a great pity that the value of lionev as a food was not popularb- recognised, because, in addition to British production, the demand for which exceeded the_ supply, our Dominions were now .sending good honey. Australia wag making extensive arrangements to nut some of her best .honey on the English market, and the honey from New Zealand was getting popular. This year the committee had started a. new scehme, and, in addition to seeing the finest show of honey in the country, visitors were having the opportunity of hearing some of the greatest experts in bee-lseeping.
