[QUOTE="NickWallingford, post: 4504, member: 44"] [URL unfurl="true"]http://beekeeping.nz/Scans[/URL] I did part of a day's work (it only took me about three days to do it) to add some more material to the Beekeeping Digital Archive. Altogether, 625 more pages of information. (1) A discussion paper from 1967. M.D. Bale (later respected for his work with the World Bank re: agricultural economics) started a thesis on honey marketing in NZ, but did not finish it. Percy Berry stepped in and paid for it, resulting in the discussion paper. The copy I have had some handwritten notes on the back inner cover where someone has recorded "Percy's Policy" - I wish I remembered where I got the booklet. (2) The 1983 MAF Seminar that was part of the Nelson NBA conference, with an emphasis on pollination and biological control. (3) NBA Annual Reports - still more to add when I find them in my boxes, but I have 1975-1992, and then 2001. Most of these have a good description of the NBA's activities through those years. (4) The Packers' Assn newsletters. I have the start of these - December 1976 - but only a few years. Again, many more to 'fill in the gaps'.
