 When beekeepers take pen and paper and decide to make their voices heard to say that things in beekeeping are taking a really bad turn. We receive this letter by Ermanno and for the record we publish. The people whom the complaint will have the same space to assert their considerations. Critics, on the other hand, is not a word that has a negative connotation, but the activity of thought engaged in the interpretation and evaluation of a fact, of an action.
The emperor has no clothes?
I read the letter of the FAI entitled "Cockroaches and FAI Calabria" published by apitalia, and makes me smile.
Sure you are putting in doubt the credibility and capacity of institutions (and Associations) have been committed so many and such errors, which even amateurs could have done worse, at least this is my thought. Moreover, it is full right of citizens to criticize the institutions if they believe that they do not do their duty. Criticism is not a word that has a negative connotation, but the activity of thought engaged in the interpretation and evaluation of a fact, of an action.
By the President of the Republic, to the Council, until the last Ecological Operator of the country, are all employees of Italian citizens. They are paid with the money of Italian citizens, and they are accountable.
Once there was the king, and as long as everyone believed it to be of Divine origin, no one breathed. It took a naive child because everyone woke up, open their eyes and saw that the king was naked. Only one child had had the courage to say it. Today, there are institutions, but the story is the same. If you're wrong, you have to have the courage to say it. They, of course, the right of reply. Bread Pane e Vino al Vino.
Someone is trying to sell the idea that Italians if you reform work, create jobs: jobs are created when demand increases, and when demand increases companies are not afraid to take on. Someone wants to make a drawing to Renzi to explain that, if a company does not have orders, but does not assume fires? Then we'll make one to explain how to do it to increase demand.
Someone wants to explain to the institutions intervened in Calabria that a cordon sanitaire is such only if it is physically impossible to cross it? Or just write a piece of paper that says "it is forbidden to move apiaries" because they do not move?
We want to make a small list of the errors that have been made in Calabria?
1. The news of the discovery of an outbreak has been put on the internet without FIRST had prepared a plan of action.
2. The decree prohibiting the handling of the apiaries arrived very late.
3. It was not set up any cordon sanitaire.
4. They have been called to work without any veterinary expertise beekeeping.
5. E 'used the fire, when there were alternatives (sulfur dioxide, to name one) that would allow you to save at least hives and honeycombs.
6. They were destroyed apiaries in full, and not only the positive colonies, and this prevented him from understanding the pattern of spread of the parasite.
7. E 'was treated soil indiscriminately, even where they were not found larvae or hives destroyed by the same: why poison the land, if there was no need?
8. It has not done anything to find the zero point, the origin of infection: no one bothered even to ask where they arrived parcels bee purchased in February by a company within the outbreak. No one bothered to figure out whether other companies, perhaps in other regions of Italy, had bought parcels bee on the same occasion.
9. have been suggested and used traps absolutely unreliable: the SHB shuns the light and has a corrugated transparent? There are studies on the effectiveness and reliability of the traps. Let us use them.
10. It was requested the support of researchers or entomologists who had already dealt with the emergency SHB trying to curb it (those Canadians, who immediately were made available, just as an example ..).
11. Veterinarians of neighboring regions, were "invited" to perform the checks: if you really wanted to eradicate the parasite, it was necessary to give a peremptory order, do not invite, so much so that the controls began with two months late.
I could go on, but I think the above is already sufficient. Only one word comes to mind: Improvisation. It only works when the artists are doing it.
I conclude by putting a cherry on the cake: the nuclei trap should be placed where everything was destroyed and sterilized, have captured more beetles. And 'perhaps appropriate to also check some oranges of Gioia Tauro, one of them falls to the ground? Australia and the Florida SHB not only survives, but you play effectively feeding on oranges. I spoke Tuesday in Alsace with beekeepers who had worked in Australia for several years. Nearby was a beekeeper Belga that at some point it is pale and asked me, "but where are the oranges Sanguinello?".
To my knowledge, from Sicily. Why do you ask? "I replied.
He said, "Why in Binche, Belgium, to celebrate the carnival, we pull tons of oranges."
"Azz. - I thought - luckily it's cold in February in Belgium. At least it is usually so .... "
Joking aside, to deal with an emergency, we need competent people. It takes in the institutions, but it also takes in the Associations. And it is time to stop going in no particular order: serves one national association, which groups the regional (one per region) divided by districts.
The bees are neither right nor center, nor left. The parties do not exist anymore, Let us explain also to beekeepers. And the presidents of associations.
The King is naked? I think so. Someone explain it to Cirone. With sympathy. |
