TO PROTECT APIARIES
FROM IMPORTED DISEASES
Board of Agriculture and Forestry Adopts
Rules and Regulations Regarding
Bee Importations.

The Board of Agriculture and For
estry took action yesterday afternoon
to prevent the introduction of bee dis
eases into the Territory of Hawaii.
The bee industry of the Territory is
assuming proportions making it an i'm
portant industry. 1t is rapidly grow
ING. The introduction of a bee dis
ease known as ".foul brood, - which is
prevalent all over the mainland of the
United States, it is believed would be
speedily fatal to the bees and the bee
industry of the islands because there
is no winter here to check its ravages.
The action taken by the Board yes
terday did not go as far as the Board
would like TO go, but is as far as
the Board sees its way to go at the
present time. Tt lacks the complete
assurance of safety in that while re-
dueing the probability of infection to
a minimum, it does not provide for
the quarantining and inspection of
imported bees on their arrival here.
The reason this was not undertaken is
because the Board has no funds with
which TO provide for inspection and
quarantine, the law providing that if
this is done it must be free of charge
to the bee owner.
The Committee on Rules and Regu-
lations consisting of George r. Car
ter and Albert Waterhouse reported a
set of regulations concerning the i'm
portation of bees into the Territory.
These rules provide that no person
shall import any bee or queen bee with
Eout first securing a permit from the
executive officer of the Board. The
application for this permit shall state
the number of bees, their sex, breed,
sshipper, the price proposed TO be paid
Tor them, the anticipated date of ar
rival, the mode of transportation,
whether by mail, express, or the care
of some person, and if the latter, the
name of the person. The permit shall
authorize the importation of bees only
from such breeder and such locality
as shall he certified by some officer
Of the Division of Entomology Depart
ment of Agriculture of the United
States, to be a reliable breeder pro-
dueing bees free from foul brood or
other disease and from a locality free
from these diseases.
In addition, the rules provide that
every beekeeper shall notify the Board
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1907-12-19

of any disease among bees that he
may discover.
Mr.. Waterhouse said that these regu-
lations were drawn up in consultation
with the beekeepers of the Territory
who now have a permanent organIza-
tion. 1t was their hope to be able
to secure the means to make a thorough
inspection of all apiaries in the Ter
ritory to determine that there is now
none of these infectious bee diseases,
and then by rigid INSPECTION and quar-
antine keep out such diseases in the
future. Mr.. Carter said that the bee
industry of the Territory was now
too valuable an asset to be jeopardized
by reckless importation.
THE FORESTS.
Mr. Carter from the Committee on
Forestry reported on the effect of the
opinion recently rendered by Attorney
General Hemenway that the products
of the forest reserves necessarily taken
therefrom for the purpose of forestry
were realizations TO which the Board
was entitled. The committee stated
that as a result of the conclusions
reached after a conference with the
Governor and the Commissioner of
Public Lands, the application of A. L.
C. Atkinson. w L. Hopper, and the
Dowsett Company for the burnt timber
at Waianae-uka came under the juris-
dietion of the Commissioner of Public
Lands
The committee also recommended
that the Board recommend to the Com
missioner of Public Lands that as
part of the consideration for the privi-
lege Of taking this burnt timber it
should be required that a hundred trees
TO the acre be planted not nearer than
twenty-five feet apart. The same re-
quirement should be made for the re-
moval of burnt timber between 5000
and $500 feet elevation, or that a fence
be required so as to permit the natural
process of reforestation.
In conclusion the report urged that
as forestry should be considered a pub
lie use of the land. it he recommended
TO the Commissioner of Public Lands
that in all leases of public lands there
be a clause similar to the homestead
clause. nermitting the withdrawal of
any of the land included in the lease
from its provisions. for forestry pur-
poses. upon a pro rata reduction of
the rent. The report was adopted.
