OBITUARIES We are sorry to pass on news of the deaths of two people who did much for tropical beekeeping
Mr Jack Tredwell was the man behind the hive invention that is well-known in Africa and across the world - the Kenya top-bar hive.
Dr Roger Darchen was involved with Volontaires du Progrés, an organisation concerned with projects in developing countries. He established the School of
Tropical Apiculture in Eyzies, France.
