There has been a good deal of controversy over the plans by the Co-Op to import up to 600 colonies of bees from New Zealand. I have myself been critical of introducing 'foreign' bees in such numbers, but I wanted to get the facts on the story, so I arranged with the Co-Op to interview Murray McGregor, the man in charge of the import.
This podcast will give you an opportunity to listen to what Murray has to say and to make up your own mind as to the rights and wrongs of the issue.
A reminder that if you have a question for me, or a subject you
would like me to talk about, please send an email to
phil@biobees.com.
The voicemail number is no longer operational, as nobody was using
it and it was costing me money. If you really want to be able to
talk to me, please make contact on Skype, where my username is
beesontoast.
I do get a lot of emails and I simply don't have time to answer
detailed questions, so if you have a beekeeping question, please
remember the natural beekeeping forum at naturalbeekeeping.org,
where you will find over 5,000 people willing to help you, some of
whom may be in your area.
