Message: <blockquote data-quote="Alastair" data-source="post: 13411" data-attributes="member: 13">Problem here is that when he was told AFB had been found in his hives, he replied no, it's just sack brood. Without actually looking at the hives himself. So the Agency asked him to come with them so they could show him, but he refused. Why? Because he claimed to be the best beekeeper in NZ at what he does, and does not need to deal with people "not on his level", and "juniors". This kind of grandiosity might be the problem. These "juniors", did not even need to tell him anything. They just wanted to SHOW him the AFB infections in his own hives. But no, he wouldn't look.</blockquote>
