Apiculture industry unification to go ahead
Apiculture industry unification to go ahead
The apiculture industry has voted to progress plans to unify under one representative organisation.
National Beekeepers Association president, Ricki Leahy, said today’s AGM had voted overwhelmingly to progress unification.
“I am excited about what this offers the industry moving forward.”
The chair of the Federated Farmers Bee Industry Group (BIG), John Hartnell, confirmed that their AGM this morning fully endorsed the work of the unification industry working group and the proposal that was tabled to progress representation by a single peak industry body.
Honey Packers Association chair, Allen McCaw, believes this is a hugely positive step for an industry that is changing rapidly, and that their organisation also strongly endorses the process.
“We need to have a representative body that reflects all stakeholders across our wider industry.”
