		The bee industry prospers greatly in America, where amid the vast stretches of mountain and canyon in California the bee-forage extends for U.S.A. miles without a break, and the climatic conditions are so generally favourable as to reduce to a minimum the chances of the honey crop failing through adverse weather.

		Gloves can carry disease from one colony to another, the smell of been venom in the glove alerts other bees that they may have to aid in defense of their hive from your intervention, and you can't pick up the queen to mark her or move her without injury if you are wearing gloves.

	Bee Morphometry
		We have been breeding bees and Queens for the last 12 years, commercially, and for a long time as amateurs on an 'as needed basis' and during all of that time have had a feeling that the selection process that we all use to determine the best for breeding purposes is badly flawed.

		I stated earlier that Morphometry was a method of measuring bee anatomy to establish race or strain characteristics and an understanding of the necessary measuring points might be useful.
