I have recently updated the NZ Beekeeping Home Pages to include more details about NZ's proposed Pest Management Strategy for AFB. You can find the reference to the page in my .sig file. If any advisory/regulatory personnel who read the list (or any interested beekeeper for that matter!) wants to know more about the Biosecurity Act that necessitates the PMS or the general history/method of disease control in NZ, I'd be happy to supply information. ------------------------------------------ Nick Wallingford President - National Beekeepers Assn of NZ NZ beekeeping: http://www.wave.co.nz/pages/nickw/nzbkpg.htm work [log in to unmask] home [log in to unmask] ------------------------------------------
