[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 6425, member: 13"] Hi Stephen, your idea is reasonable, and very pleased to hear what you actually want, instead of just constant critisism with no solutions. However I have 2 counterpoints. The first, is would the different governance actually change anything at the coalface? I think not. At this time there is a team of AP2's who do hive inspections. I know some of them personally and they are hard working, honest guys, with a desire to help beekeepers eliminate AFB. It is not police work or guys with a big stick as you like to portray, mostly their work is much appreciated by those they can assist. The second thing is cost. Such a corporate structure would be nice, but such professional oversight usually comes with massive consultancy fees. Might be worth it if it would improve anything, but, I don't see how it would improve anything, at the grass roots. The current system is working just fine. You, like anyone else, are able to submit alternative ideas, and you have done so. All of us though have to realise that we may not get what we want, and it is impossible for everybody, with their different ideas, to all get what they want. [/QUOTE]
