​Extension, education, sharing of the collected data, funding more than 3
inspectors, trust that the inspectors are not going to poach locations,
listening to the entire beekeeping community rather than the handful of
large scale beekeepers who are hijacking the discussion​.


2.  What does NYS need to do to improve the program?
>
​One cannot divest their history. Kill mandatory registration, let those
who see a value voluntarily register their hives​
​. Provide a service to make beekeepers want to register​

​and perhaps they will. The water is so poison that no one will drink at
that well, find a new source. There are stellar inspection programs out
there (Maine and Pa have been recently mentioned).
 The inspection program in NYS is FUBAR! The last new truck I bought was
after my previous truck reached the point that fixing the current problem
only bought time before the next problem came up.  It was time for a new
truck.
