30 DISEASES OF BEES 



the reason lies in the good relationship between practice and science. 

 The beekeepers know that they cannot get further in the control of 

 bee diseases without scientific help, and the scientists know that 

 they cannot understand bee diseases if they do not also to some 

 extent understand the life and treatment of healthy bees, viz. 

 apiary practice. I should like to close my address by saying how 

 gratified I am by the fact that this good relationship between 

 science and practice, and with it the most important prerequisite 

 for a successful control of bee diseases, also exists in the British 

 Isles.
