[QUOTE="Maggie, post: 6508, member: 71"] To me this is just some government bureaucratic plonker creating a job for themselves, but the problem is they don't just create a job for themselves, they create a little kingdom of bureaucrats, along with wasting time of primary producers dreaming up documents to perform under stipulated conditions. If we are not careful, nobody will be able to do anything in primary production without contravening some law or another. We will be told precisely when to do something, how to do it, and it might even get to the stage if we actually want to do some work in our outfits, we won't be able to do it, cos we will have to put in an application to arrange and pay for someone under the control of a bureaucrat to do it. ..... Then what is the outcome or penalty legally if we don't do it? So if swarming, drifting, varroa re infestation, wasp attack, starvation or mice in the hive occur, a farmer not containing their stock (e.g. hole in the fence or going AWOL while herding), these are potentially against this code of practice. Is the pressure for this code coming from MPI? [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bee_Movie"]Bee Movie - Wikipedia[/URL] The last two sentences in this link under "Plot" I think say it all! [/QUOTE]
