Quarantine Committee

Dan del Villano to club business, quarantine  

At our Thursday meeting, we struck a committee to research the issues around the Policy on Movement of Bees (that is, the quarantine and the May 1 cancellation of it). One of our key aims is to get information into the hands of CRBA members faster.

There is a coalition of reps from the five Island beekeeping associations that has been working on the issue. We are separate from them, but will provide whatever help and support we can. The quarantine committee will be separate from the CRBA executive as well; they already have their hands full.

If you want to help or have ideas, let me know at Dan.delVillano@gmail.com or at 250-598-2259.

As well, many of you feel that you are out of the loop. That is completely understandable. The changes to the policy on movement of bees were dropped on us with no notice, the issues are complex, and the stakes are very high. The Coalition has been trying to move quickly, but they are also moving carefully and cooperatively.  The new committee, on the other hand, can focus on sending out information to interested members.

If you want to be on the mailing list, please send me your e-mail address. Again, I am at Dan.delVillano@gmail.com.  We will send you info as we get it, so you don’t need to wait a month between Beelines or meetings.

Thanks,

Dan
