[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 10411, member: 13"] Just to clarify for people who may be wondering what all the dark and conspiritorial talk is about, it is clear that some folks are way over thinking. The aim of the AFBPMP (AFB Pest Management Program) is actually very simple. There is just one aim. To seek out AFB so it can be eliminated, and assist beekeepers to do that. That's it. Not sure how it can be a weapon lots of people use against each other, or why somebody would think something like that up. Because if a person does not have AFB in their hives the AFBPMP has exactly zero interest in their hives, and there is nothing whatsoever that could be weaponised. If a person does have AFB in their hives then the faster it can be found and eliminated, the better off they are. If the AFBPMP can help them achieve that, then good. In NZ we have several thousand beekeepers. Out of those thousands it is to be expected there will be some small number who are conspiracy theorists, born rebels, or whatever other issues. And some of those people are also keyboard warriors. Their mission is to make the well run and simple purpose AFBPMP sound like some kind of evil empire. But it isn't, and it's just not that complicated. [/QUOTE]
