[QUOTE="Gino de Graaf, post: 3148, member: 222"] C and MH represent Commercial, but they buy a lot of honey from many other beekeepers. C has interests in Australia and South America plus in the share market. Their interest lies purely in the return to the share holders- (not the beekeepers) which is what's legally required in a listed company. I think APINZ needs to clarify the positions the Board members choose to represent, because currently I believe C and MH are Packer and Marketers to the core- Maybe if the company has bees and primarily sells it's own produced honey... some measure say 75%... C made huge losses running hives, what kept the ship afloat was Packing, Marketing and selling a whole lot of newly created Shares. Look at the shop on Queen Street... The Commercials need to be like you Dennis. Keeps bees and sells honey wholesale. Preferably with Pasture/bush honey interests. I would consider APINZ if I could see some change in the Board make up. Another thought was, does C/MH buy other Board members honey? Does that need to be a consideration? Nothing particularly wrong with that, but it could show some bias. How about a Queen/nuc/bee/cell producing representative. The Board is 4 Marketers/packers and 2 commercials, (Raymond Keys? says commercial but how many hives?? small is how many? is he semi? with a desire to Market/Pack and export his honey? Ricki and you. [/QUOTE]
