Remember when you were a kid and you said a naughty word.
Well I don't know how your parents handled it but mine tried not to laugh, and then made me put some of my pocket money into the swear box.
Well, I would like to propose we have something similar.
Anyone who mentions the words " Buckfast" or " Native Irish Bee" has to pay a € 5.00 fine.
That money is then put towards a fund to help beekeepers who are affected by Foul Brood and have had to destroy their hives. 

What do you think folks?

Not sure about fines, however is it one our company principles that we shall not take sides in any debate on either breed of bee.

My own view is that if associations are in distinctive terrain (peninsulas, Mountains or between wide bodies of water, they can consider "set aside" among themselves.

Freedom of movement within the EU, means that his will always be on a voluntary basis only.
