TURN BULL <JDedii ication This book is dedicated to the pioneers of the Bee Keeping Industry for the past 100 years. Representing these, I would like to mention J. B. D. Ogilvie, that pioneering Scot who made the first importation of honey bees back in 1858. To his name I would like to add W. H. Lewis, C. A. Carncross, P. Dundas Todd, Williams Hugh, John Brooks, W.
