A substantial increase in the im- partition of pscksesd been this year heralds an expansion in this fustlyowm Illklld industry of hi)- my productionxlt is believed that it in. great possibilities and bee- keeper! and government officials R, working closely together to bi-in them to realization.

Ths season there was a record

original arrangements for ob- taining the bees are. made by Mr. Warren Brrna. Acting Provincial Apiarist and secretary of the PEI Beekeepers Association. He has been obtaining the bees from Chip- ley. Florida.'ior over I5 3'08!!-

Prid(ia felt by island beekeepe n in the ct that they rate fourth highest In Canada in the honey yi-zld V colony. They are also proud the fact that their bees are tr from "American Foul Brood' fa disease which may ea- sily c e ruin to a beekeepe.

Tho engaged in the industry receiv' every help and encourag- ment In the Provincial Departn l t 0 'Agriculture which pays the expr ' charges from Florida and then atributes the bees on arrival. V rating fully is the Dominion ” imcntal Farm which pro- rid a the services of Mr. ,iioca many typcs of research of value to the industry.

Among experiments conducted under supervision of Mr. .R.C. Par- ent. superintendent or the Farm. are ascertaining the value of in- sulating material for winter hou- sing. removal of queen, bees from packages to test the honey flow and hybrid stock testing and studies in controLof Nosema.

IH BEIIKEEPERS

There are approximately 120 bee- eeepers in Prince Edward Island with Mr. Dennis Neal. Wlnsloe, the biggest operator with 225 col- onies. Connected for the greatest length of time is Mr. R.E. Moase.

Honey Production is Fast

try In P.E.l.'

The bees arrive in this province ; in two-pound packages and the; express charge on ' h of 3124' is paid by the Department of ASH- culture. This means that each col- ony costs the beekeeper only 33110 and it is the opinion of Mr. Neal that in a good season he should clear 31.000 on too colonies.

It is only recently that bees have been used in this pro" ince for pol. linction in clover fields. in com merciai orchards and cucumbei fl-Jds. At present investigatlom are being made regarding lll(' value of bees in blueberry bar rens.

Over the years from I944 to i953 the average honey yield per colony here was 80 pounds and last year the value to the crop was 313,000.

Mr. Neal started in the business in 1946 with 60 colonies; he now has 225 which is 40 more than last year. He sells the bulk of his honey to local wholesalers though there are various methods used to market the prndur-i. Mr ltloase sells direct from 'farm tn customer through the medium ot a roadside sign ”I' .iey for Sale". Mr. C.S. Dingwell, general merchant at New Glasgow, sells his over the counter. while Mr. Ray Brooks. a Murray Harbor fa- mer. disposes of his in Newfound- land using coastal vessri calling at his port.

BRING RELIEF

ltir. Dingwell has only l5 Ctiltvn ies, being a comparative l'l(?il('nlTlr er. but the First World War ret- eran wishes he had 100. Hc states he never knew what it was to have relief from rheumatism until he started beekeeping. The stings are sald to give relief.

Mr Dingwell is emphatic on this point. "I'd keep them whether they produced honey or not". he says

Mr. Burns estimates that if a beekeeper starts "from scratch" it costs him approximately 330.00 per colony and this means a sub- stantial cash outlay when expan- sion is contemplated: particularly when only 810.00 per colony can be cleared as profit. And that de- pends largely on whether or not
