NEW ZEALAND BEEKEEPER, DECEMBER 2016

Our thoughts are with everyone who has been affected by the earthquakes in North Canterbury and the myriad quake and weather disruptions inWellington and elsewhere. Stay safe.

APINZ HOLIDAY CLOSURE DATES The ApiNZ office will be closed from 23 December 2016 through to 6 January 2017, reopening 9 January 2017. On behalf of CE, Karin Kos, newly appointed Chair, Bruce Wills and the ApiNZ Board, we

wish you a bountiful season, and safe and happy holidays.

THANKS, EVERYONE: SEE YOU IN FEBRUARY! The Publications Focus Group (Frank and Mary-Ann Lindsay, Serena Richards and Jenny Nelson) and journal editor Nancy Fithian wish you all a safe, happy and healthy festive season, and a bumper crop for 2017. We hope you will be able to take some time to be with family and friends before resuming work. Sincere thanks to our advertisers, without whom the journal would not be published— please support them! We are also grateful to everyone who has contributed articles and photos over the past year. Thanks also to the members of the ApiNZ Board and Management Team for their tireless efforts on behalf of all ApiNZ members, and to Certa Solutions for a job well done again this year. NB: The deadline for the February 2017 journal is Monday, 9 January, with a cutoff date of 16 January for articles and advertising. Please mark the date in your 2017 diaries now.

LAND USE AGREEMENTS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE Apiculture New Zealand has developed two Land Use Agreements that will be available to members at a significantly discounted price.

The two land use contracts now available for purchase from the ApiNZ website are: • Apiary Land Use Agreement – Land Owner/Beekeeper Profit Share: For those beekeepers offering a crop share arrangement. • Apiary Land Use Agreement – Site Rental: For those beekeepers paying a set apiary site rental or per hive rate to the land owner.

The agreements will be $195 +GST for ApiNZ members and $455 +GST for non-members.

These can be found on the ApiNZ website here: http://apinz.org.nz/land-use-agreement/

The agreements will be personalised to the purchaser, so on application you will need to answer some questions which will be added to your document. Once payment is received this document will be sent to you via e-mail. If you have any questions, please contact the ApiNZ Management Team on 04 471 6254 (Monday to Friday 8.30–5.30) or e-mail info@apinz.org.nz.
