Title: Connecting with Large pollinating outfits in New Zeeland.
Post by: garlicfarmer on September 10, 2012, 02:34:41 pm
I would like to connect with Large commercial pollinators in New Zeeland.  I have a International truck license and have experience.  Would like to get to know you and possibly work for you in the future.  Thanks Tom

I don't think there are piles and piles of commercial kiwi beekeepers on the forum, so have you tried contacting some directly?  There are plenty of websites that will have contact information. 

We only have 7 hives but I wish I could get you over to help move them when I want to shift them!

Well Tom, there is a super trawler wanting to fish here, but naturally a lot of opposition to it.  http://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/labor-moves-to-halt-super-trawler-fishing-in-australian-waters/story-fn59niix-1226471622187 (http://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/labor-moves-to-halt-super-trawler-fishing-in-australian-waters/story-fn59niix-1226471622187)    You wouldn't be able to keep bees on a boat but you could lace your food with a heap of honey.

Something like the way "it's" has an apostrophe...   :police:

Anyhow, does that mean you are a New Zealand Beakeaper?
