[QUOTE="NickWallingford, post: 13280, member: 44"] This is from 1964. For almost a decade before, the NBA had been working through the Royal New Zealand Institute of Horticulture to develop a training (though really more academic/educational) qualification path for beekeepers. In the process of 'launching' the qualification, they decided to award it to any beekeeper who was more than 40 years old, with more 20 years of industry exprerience. Not all 'qualified' beekeepers allowed their names to go forward: I note that Billy Bray is not included here. But it is for me, a beekeeping sort-of historian, a really great list of people who were, in 1964, considered "good beekeepers"... I see multiple "family" names in beekeeping - those multi-generational beekeeping families that have given a 'consistency' to the industry through time.
