[QUOTE="NickWallingford, post: 13289, member: 44"] There's a fair sprinkling of apiary instructors and Dept Ag people in the list. Alf Bennett, Doug Briscoe, Roy Paterson, TS Winter, Eric Smaellie. I expect the new diploma, even by 'honorary' bestowal, would maybe have some career significance. Wrexford Hillary made me go check - yes, that is Rex Hillary, Sir Ed's brother, who did more beekeeping than Ed did. Their father, Percival, was another of those 'qualified' but for whatever reason may not be included. Wallace Nelson is included - he played a *major* role in honey marketing from the 1920s through into the 1950's. By this time, he'd been involved for about 40 years. He was once described in the NZ Beekeeper magazine as one of the only self-avowed communists in the industry, I think it was said. He was an avid Labour supporter through the 1930s. Kept bees near Otorahanga, something like 600 hives. The occasional old Nelson's Honey tin can still be seen, but not many NZ beekeepers will have heard of him. He was one of the bkprs who picked up the pieces after the Australian honey debacle in the mid-1930s. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.beekeeping.nz/?page_id=399[/URL] [/QUOTE]
