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

must study local conditions and adjust his methods accord-
ingly. 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.
