Message: <blockquote data-quote="Alastair" data-source="post: 3246" data-attributes="member: 13">Wonder if it would be possible for APINZ and NZBI to combine resources and unite under one banner?The reason why NZBI was set up was totally legitimate at the time, beekeepers who had formerly been in charge of their own affairs, were now relegated to a minority vote, rendering them powerless to deal with perceived threats that might emerge. Totally understandable some of them formed a new organisation.The minority vote issue has now been dealt with. Would be interesting for leaders of the two groups to sit at a table, define what differences still exist if any, and work on resolving them. Some compromises may be needed from both sides but best I know of the current situation there should be nothing that is too far apart to meet in the middle.There's some personality differences between people but that should not be relevant and should be left at the door.And people who don't like this or that about the other organisation, if you combine you get a vote, you can change things.There you go leaders, how about make a phone call or two and set up a meeting?</blockquote>
