New organisation
- Thread starter Josethayil
- Start date
We do need a unified organisation, instead of what has been going on the last few years with two organisations, one trying to do good work, such as administering the AFB pest management program, and the other devoting it's energy to try to sabotage everything they do.
A ridiculous situation, but it only continued because of support from a surprising number of beekeepers. Which does make me wonder about the mentality of some of our number.
Anyhow with the downturn in the industry of the last few years and beekeepers suffering financially, the first organisation has not had the needed funds to continue in it's existing form. So efforts are being made to start anew, and incorporate the membership of both organisations, into one united organisation.
Which if enough of us had any sense, would have been done years ago.
My only reservation is that some people from the second organisation have shown themselves as cantankerous types who only exist to obstruct and cause problems, where none need to exist. So incorporating these people into the new organisation, if they are included, can only lead to problems and divisions down the track.
So me, I'm waiting to see how this will pan out.
Should add, the above is my opinion only.
