Report of Apiary Inspector. 



67 



Apiaries of H. C. Gadberry, Miami, Mo. 



not be obtained under the present system of inspection, in which 

 one man is expected to deal with every diseased colony of bees 

 in the entire State. One inspector cannot give the time needed, 

 for there are other localities needing work just as much as these 

 and where the people are anxious about the work and willingly 

 take hold and help. Some provision for extra inspection work 

 seems to be the only way to meet the conditions we have before 

 us, and we earnestly hope that the importance of the bee indus- 

 try with its possibilities and its close relationship to the great 

 horticultural interests, will bring the help and recognition de- 

 served. 



Respectfully submitted, 



M. E. Darby, Apiary Inspector.
