Bees have been successfully kept in almost all parts of the province,
and there are at present upwards of ten thousand persons keeping
about three hundred thousand colonies and producing average crops of
from 30 to 50 pounds per colony.

Under the slogan "Every beekeeper his own inspector," the cooperation
of beekeepers themselves is sought by correspondence. First
a letter is sent to the complete list early in spring warning against the
danger of spreading disease by allowing robbing...

Early in May, a letter goes to the disease list asking the beekeeper
to be his own inspector and enclosing a report form with agreement
to treat by a stated time, and a report of treatment to be signed and
returned later.
