[QUOTE="JohnF, post: 12389, member: 233"] Well, marketing is essentially what James was suggesting above, Frazz At risk of rehashing it, a 'slush fund' is very narrow thinking. Nearly all other primary industries have levies, whose acitivities (voted on by members) have saved the particular industry at various times. Remember when you could have bought a hectare of kiwifruit-growing country for less than bare-land value? What saved the kiwifruit industry? Research and continued investment. I am bemused (and saddened) that the groups that actively campaigned against the levy are now those asking for money to support their various apiculture projects. And they wonder why the projects never get started. . .. How many hives have been poisoned or otherwise died with various offf-the-internet oxalic recipes? Who's looked at formic variation in different regions/temperatures?? I guess everyone can do their own work there [/QUOTE]
