moving into by changing to asking what do we want?

Damian spoke about the "Foresight programme" and the funding
that is available for approved research projects. He
referred to the revised manner by which projects are
approved and to the fact that the Beekeeping industry did
not seem to have appreciated the opportunities that existed
in this field and the money that was available

The consultation process will take place over the next two
months and the NBA was encouraged to be part of this
process.

The priorities will be agreed around a table with the
relevant organisations.

shared for the industry.

magazine as part of the brief. It was agreed that we would
not attack the Animal Products Bill as there was seen to be
very little advantage in this type of approach.
