E-mail: Contact 		I have just become a beekeeper and joined the bbka. I read the excellent book "A spring without bees" so you can imagine my confusion when in my membership pack from bbka there was a leaflet called "bee safe bee careful when using insecticides" sponsored by the Crop Protection Association. Apparently they..."represent members active in the manufacture, formulation and distribution of pesticide products in the agricultural, horticultural, amenity and garden sectors."
The leaflet is like a wolf in sheeps clothing.
They sound so concerned about the problems bees are having and talk about how important they are. They make sure to say that the problems are due to varroa destructor and nosema, and their wording in places is so manipulative "the stewardship of such products (seeds covered with insecticide) is being closely monitored across Europe to CONFIRM (my caps) that there are no undesirable effects associated with the correct use of this development".I thought that there was quite a lot of evidence that these treated seeds ARE harmful to our bees.
I think it is shocking that I have received this leaflet from the bbka! and i'm shocked at what I'm finding out here.

E-mail: Contact 		As an Environmental Toxicologist I support this letter fully. For an organisation purportedly designed to promote beekeeping accepting money from pesticide suppliers is an abhorrent conflict of interest. The science of these types of chemicals directly contravenes the idea that they are "bee friendly". Indeed they are bee killers! Furthermore the backroom dealing, not brought to the membership of the organisation, is the worst type of skulduggery. If this executive refuses to correct the issue and cannot be ousted members not in agreement need to break away and form a new governing body.

 Any individual or organisation that truly cares for the honeybee and it's wellbeing would work to ensure that the use of these chemicals is, at least, suspended. For BBKA to support the company that produces these is at best naive and worst insidious and amoral.

E-mail: Contact 		I can't understand how the BBKA has been accepting funds from pesticide manufacturers. What have they been using the money for? Trying to bring dead bees back to life?

E-mail: Contact 		In order to get to the bottom of this matter and in order for the executives to clear their names and find out whether or not they acted outside their remit when they signed a contract that may have been damaging to the bees, THEY SHOULD DISCLOSE THESE CONTRACTS to the membership. Failure to do so may force us to draw negative conclusions as to the good conduct of the executives. Maybe one day another whistleblower or wikileak may help us!
