[QUOTE="Gino de Graaf, post: 2894, member: 222"] Whether you like it or not, those companies also have very big commercial beekeeping operations as well, and so also fit the commercial beekeeper representation. [/QUOTE] Still begs the question. These guys buy a lot of other beekeeper honey, and pack and market it. And buying it cheap is good. And being on the board probably gives them good information and an edge. C is not primarily a Commercial, how can they be if listed on the stock exchange. C and MH have pushed hard for Manuka access, at the detriment of others. And C imports propolis from their other overseas company, so I now can't sell my propolis. It's about cheap product. If they could, I think they would sell all their bees. For some the discount on testing Manuka pays for the membership. Is that why they join? And it's cheap for hobbyists. Must be lots like myself, I think...not represented. By choice or having no real place to belong. [/QUOTE]
