Abstract
THE Agricultural Research Council has recently made a substantial grant to Rothamsted to permit beekeeping researches there to be broadened to include the investigation of various problems connected with honey. The appointment of Dr. C. R. Marshall to undertake this work has been approved, and Dr. Marshall has now taken up his duties. In view of the fact that beekeepers during the past three years have contributed towards the cost of the brood disease investigations, the Government is bearing the whole cost of this new work. The researches on honey will be physico-chemical in nature, and directed towards certain practical problems of quality and processing that affect the honey producer. Such problems are the granulation of honey, rapidity of granulation, texture of grain, ‘frosting’, etc., and fermentation. Dr. Marshall recently obtained the degree of Ph.D. at the University of Birmingham, where he has been working on chemical problems connected with the structure of mucilages.
