a total of about 70,000 stocks of bees. The returns received showed that the average yield in 1925 was about 361 lbs. per stock from which honey was taken during the year, giving an estimated total production of honey of 2,200,000 Ibs. The year 1925 was a good year for honey production. From the report of the Cornwall Bee Keepers’ Association it appears that the average yield of honey in 1925 in that county was over 38 Ibs. per stock, as compared with about 18 Ibs. in 1924. The average wholesale price of extracted honey in 1925 was about £6 10s. per cwt., giving a total value of about £130,000 for the honey production of the country. Retail prices averaged about 2s. per lb., however, and a considerable proportion of the honey produced is sold direct by producers to consumers, while sections of comb honey averaged 2s. 6d. each retail and 20s. per dozen wholesale. The aggregate value of the honey produced in 1925 may, therefore, be put at something in excess of £130,000, and probably £180,000 may be a fairer estimate.
