Beekeepers have brought in former Minister for Primary Industries Nathan Guy to lead their industry body.
In July, he will replace independent chairman Bruce Wills, who has held the role since Apiculture New Zealand was established in 2016.
Wills said Guy would be a welcome addition to the board.
"Nathan's commitment to New Zealand's primary sector, his understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by the apiculture sector, and his ability to connect with key stakeholders here in New Zealand and abroad will be welcomed by the industry."
