I have offered before at my own expense to go down and verify whether the supposedly healthy hives have disease or not. As for ordering the destruction of abandoned apiaries that aren't abandoned I find that extremely hard to believe. Nevertheless I would go down and independently verify if asked to with the only proviso being that I have absolute freedom to publicise what I find. While I don't want to prejudge anything I think most of us know what I will find but believe me if it turned out that an injustice was occurring then heads would roll.
Integrity has always been one of the most important things when it comes to the operations of AP ones and AP twos and their integrity has now been challenge repeatedly by this person .
My offer stands. I have a reputation for honesty and integrity but would absolutely be happy for others to carry out these inspections with me, everything above board, everything public.
And at the end of it all I will try and do what I have always done in these situations and work with people to sort out why they have a problem and how to solve it.
