In 2016 several knowledgeable beekeepers in Victoria formed a group to assist and discuss beekeeping in Victoria Australia. As one of the first groups in Australia and because of the influence of the admins it grew quite rapidly. However over the last six months admin William Rogers (The Bunyip Beekeeper) took control and removed admins or they have resigned because of the slant it has taken toward Corporate interests. Posts discussing current pressures on the honey prices like imports are removed. Posts denouncing neonicotinoids and glyphosate are removed. Conversations about Capilano honeys conduct in the industry are banned. I was banned this week for sharing this petition with 50000 signatures calling for country of origin on honey labels. goo.gl/BX7jCg A Queensland lobbyist for Capilano Honey Kelli Allen has been given a moderators role on the Victorian page . She also has a role on the global page Beekeeping Techniques. Kelli Allen has stipulated no anti Capilano posts allowed and has blocked me from participating anything to the page. After numerous complaints about the original page I have requested the original admins resume their rolls on the new page. We are attempting to restore the original page so to enable free speech. The aim being to assist Beekeepers over time. "Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If people all over the world...would do this, it would change the earth." William Faulkner Your welcome to join the group. Please treat others with respect. Facebook Beekeeping Victoria Official
