[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 13328, member: 13"] I saw a fuller video with him talking about it for several minutes. He told lie after lie, and the general public watching would think he has been treated terribly. The unfair thing is that because of privacy rules, the other side of the story, the AFB Management Agencies side, cannot be told. At least by them. They are unable to respond or answer many of the lies told. I do not know the specifics of this case, but I do know the guy is telling lies, from the many times he said two contradictory things that cannot both be true. For example saying he had to burn ten thousand boxes (nice round number), then elsewhere saying he had to burn twenty thousand boxes. Which? Saying he had no boxes left to put on his hives next year, elsewhere saying he had to destroy 2/3rds of his boxes. Which would leave one third anyway. Which is true, or is any of it true. Much more obvious lies but I won't go through them all. It was also in TV1 news tonight, they interviewed him, plus several "experts", all of whom I know and they are all NZ Beekeeping Inc people, the usual s**t stirrers who try to undermine the work of the AFB Management Agency. With it being all over the internet and TV, these people have gone all out to discredit the AFBPMP. Instead, they should be ashamed, for letting things get this bad, and probably costing other beekeepers worry and money along the way. I don't know the specifics of this case, but I do know that people with 1/2 a days training do not randomly show up at a beekeepers shed for no good reason, and order the destruction of thousands of boxes, with no just cause. Which is what he stated in one of his other videos. [/QUOTE]
