The Honey Industry

More than 100 beekeepers from all parts of New Zealand attended the annual conference of the National Beekeepers' Association in Nelson, The members and delegates spent much of their time discussing ways of bettering the industry, but there was still ample time left for seeing the sights in the beautiful weather Nelson provided for them. When we visited the conference we found them in animated discussion on how best to improve the association.
