BEEKEEPING AND DEVELOPMENT
INSIDE INFORMATION ARKHIVES AND ARCHIVES What was Noah's hive? What are keffo, mpofu, marimba, tshwarangano? Where can you find details of 53 types of hives? And where was that plan for a smoker? During the ten years of its evolution this journal has carried details of worthwhile and new beekeeping activities from all around the world. But information is worthless if it is not accessible. Readers have suggested that it was time to produce an index. In response to this you will find that the centre of this edition contains an index to all editions of Beekeeping and
Development and its predecessors. In the future we will provide you with an index at the end of each year. Many readers’ subscriptions for next year are now due. If yours is, please send it now to ensure that you receive the first edition of 1992 on time. And if you can, why not send an extra subscription? This will help us to help beekeepers in the very poorest rural places. This journal is produced on a non-profit basis - our sole aim is to encourage beekeeping as a good way for people to help themselves while helping to sustain their environment.
