[QUOTE="Dr Mark Goodwin, post: 11150, member: 617"] The courses should be paid for by the management agency. To do this they need to stop doing some things. When we set up the Pest Management Strategy, hive inspections were only to be done for two reasons. The first was default inspections for beekeepers who fail to carry out their legal requirements. The beekeepers were to be charged for these inspections and the PMA was given legal powers to collect the money. The only other inspections that were to occur , to be paid for by the agency were to audit some DECA holders. Management Agencies Job was not to go looking for AFB for beekeepers, however I see us doing this. We do not have the budget to try and find AFB hives faster than beekeepers can create new AFB hives. The money spent here, should be spent on the workshops where it will have a much large return for the $$ spent than looking for AFB hives [/QUOTE]
