BEEKEEPING IN NEW ZEALAND
By T. S. Winter

Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries Bulletin 267

155 p. 1980 reprint. $8.95 plus 70c p & p

Though fundamental successful beekeeping is the same the world over, the varying seasonal conditions and the variety of nectar sources in different areas mean that the beekeeper must study local conditions and adjust his methods accordingly. Three factors govern success in beekeeping—locality, management, and the right strain of bees. This excellent book covers all aspects of beekeeping in text, photographs, and illustrations.

FISHING METHODS AND DEVICES OF THE MAORI
By Elsdon Best

National Museum Bulletin No. 12

264 p. $15.95 plus $1.25 p & p

Another in the series of the Best publications, it has been reprinted without revision so that the basic studies may be accessible in the original style.

This particular bulletin still remains the only comprehensive account of most aspects of Maori fishing. The descriptions of methods employed in fishing given here are still quite basic for any future studies in this field since no first-hand observations can now be made. The detailed fishing methods outlined are accompanied by descriptions of the artifacts used, together with associated chants, magic formulae, special observances, and fishing lore.

FOREST LORE OF THE MAORI
By Elsdon Best

DOMINION MUSEUM BULLETIN No. 14

421 p. 1977. $17.95 plus $1.25 p & p

Printed without textual alteration, the work provides an important basis for any study of old-time Maori economics and perhaps more important of his attitude to what was a major part of his environment. It will be more of general interest today than when first written, since it stresses so fully the uses made by the Maori people of their natural resources, and supplies basic materials for further studies in ethnobotany and ethnozoology. The reverence which the old time Maori showed towards natural resources mirrors the modern concern for ecological principles.
