I am not trying to alienate people - and nor am I seeking any funds for any work that we do. I am trying to provoke thoughts, opinions and conversation. Its a wee bit of chicken and egg - scientists are often writing grants for funding or reports to complete funding and so yes, often not the time to get out and build the relationships among those who may not have a cohesive funding.I fully appreciate the constraints on beekeeping finances. There are possibly many options to lift our industry - co-ops, cooperation but look across at kiwifruit and what science provided there. Never was this more evident at the recent funeral of one of the leading NZ scientists on Psa when the head of Seeka (the largest kiwifruit postharvest company here) flew down to give a eulogy.</blockquote>
