Bee Good

I agree. The guy their talking about is a top bloke, very approachable and cooperative the best on the ApiNZ team in my oppinion.

Cripes, 21000 hectares effected so far.

There is still some un answered queries that should be answered/clarified by @ApiNZ themselves.

That news item will repeat on the late news tonight.

Well yeh, Best Practice is to return wets back to hive they originated from. Check hives for any visual sign of AFB before removing honey.

Yeh it was kind of a loaded question anyway, Best practice ,what all well meaning bekeepers are already doing, not sure i should have to pay someone to tell me how to do what im already doing. I may have misinterpreted myself. Good point about the compliance, did,nt think about that angle, sort of things that come up in boardroom meetings when there throwing ideas around.

Already been on.

Just seen a clip on ONE NEWS on beekeeping, mainly based around an introduction of a comodity levy from APINZ. Karin Kos fronted to say that the levy would be benificial in recomending better beekeeping practices. So what are better Beekeeping Practices and how would paying a levy help a commercial beeker with these practices I already get my best beekeeping practices from the knowledgable folk on this website. for free

Just out of curiosity, what was the fuel consumption like after the re-map ?

Party up the top, Business down below.

Yes it does have benefits, you are wrong, but as Alistair said spin should be used correctly. I just highlighted that spin can be spun however we like, it all comes down to consumer perception. But you already knew that?

Spin can work, should be, spin does work. Example: Coca cola -- Coke adds life. (slogan). and they,ve got global domination in soft drinks, nuff said

Kanuka flowered just fine. Many view Kanuka as just bush honey, and price accordingly.

Should be the quote of the year. Luv it.

Hive lids hot enough to fry an egg on today. If I left hive tool on top of adjacent hive, would have to do a hive tool juggle to keep from burning fingers.
