HONEY PRODUCTION
UNFAVOURABLE SEASON EFFECT OF DRY WEATHER [from our own correspondent] HAMILTON. Thursday "The long spell of dry weather in the summer considerably affected the quantity and quality of the honey produced in South Auckland," stated the executive of the South Auckland branch of the National Bce-keepcrs' Association in its report at the annual meeting to-day. The executive stated that while some progress had been made in improving marketing conditions there was still need for more unity among bee-keepers in developing their marketing arrangements to the mutual advantage of all concerned. Subscriptions had been slow in arriving, and as a result the credit balance had been much reduced. Many members, however, had since paid their amounts.
It was reported that there had been an increase in the depredations of the wax moth, and bee-keepers were urged to do all they could to prevent the spread of the pest.
