Excerpt from The British Bee Journal and Bee-Keeper's Adviser, 1884, Vol. 12 With regard to the rules, I think I may say on behalf of the B. B. Committee, who framed them, that they were the best which suggested themselves at the outset of a novel experiment; but as one of the judges, I may add that we certainly found them faulty. If a fresh competition is decided upon, the judges would advise that the rules should be amended. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
