[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 13363, member: 13"] That, Cheng, is because you cooperated in a sensible way, and you and Bob were able to problem solve together and harmoniously. A totally different situation to Steven Brown, who was uncooperative in every way he could be, even trying to ban inspectors looking at his gear, and hiding hives. Eventually he had to be forced, kicking and screaming, to do what any sensible beekeeper would have done WAY before, before things got anywhere near as bad as they are for him now. Sad to say, but my view is the industry will be better off if he goes out of business. That's because his attitude is so appallingly bad, I don't think he will deal with future AFB properly, and will still be obstructionist trying to stop the inspectors from helping him also. [/QUOTE]
