[QUOTE="Bee Real, post: 5202, member: 253"] Stephen please give us real recent examples of bullying by the AFB PMP agency. I m worry that you call bullying to compliance verification and enforcement actions. For example: Cancelling DECAS to beekeepers who don’t comply with their DECA is fair. There must be consequences for no complying with the AFB pmp. Recovering cost from offending beekeepers is also fair. Why should we use our hard earned levy money to clean up someone else’s mess? Investigating serious allegations of non conformance is also fair. I will hate reporting something and being ignored by the Agency. However, if I m being targeted for an investigation I may feel like i m being bullied, when they are just doing their job. Finally, I saw tension between the Agency and top bar hives owners before MPI gave a ruling on it a few years ago. However, this issue happened not because they are bullies it is because some top bars hives may not comply with rule 11 of the Afb PMP and it it up to the beekeeper to demonstrate compliance.
