BEES NEAR THE ROAD
DANGER TO TRAFFIC MR JULL’S PREDICAMENT. The danger to passengers, horses, and stock caused by beehives near roads was emphasised at the New Zealand Counties’ Association Conference yesterday, when Mr J. Cunningham, Ellesmere, moved: “That the hives of an apiary be not allowed to be placed up to the road line of a county road, owing to the danger to passengers, horses, and stock from bee stings during the warm summer days.” He thought that powers should be given to county councils to frame bylaws on the matter. The president, Mr A. E. Jull, Wai--1 pawa, said in his part of the country ihey were more concerned with mosquitos. (Laughter.) “Anyway, it does matter what sort of a day it is. One flay I couldn’t get my collar on, and on another day I couldn’t get my boot on.” (Laughter.) A recent case of runaway horses and dray from a similar cause Was referred to. and the remit was carried, with an additional recommendation that county councils bo given power to make bylaws.
