The board of the AFB PMP are not elected.They are selected by an independent body which is appointed by Apinz and one has to assume that they give this body instructions.It is not democratic.Having said all that I support what they are doing and believe they do a good job in difficult circumstances.In the last few years there have been some beekeepers that have been treated in a fairly heavy-handed manner and there is no doubt that if you don't comply with the regulations they can and will come down heavily upon you and they will force you to destroy hives and gear that is a threat to everyone else in the neighbourhood.Bloody good job too.Whether the system would run as well with elected board members I don't know but at least it would be democratic.
