Dear Environmental Protection Authority,

this is to remind you that a response is required by law from you under a certain timeframe and now that this timeframe has passed you are in breach of the law. If you evaluate the dictionary description of the word corruption you will see that your actions fall into this category. So as well as the information I originally asked for, a public admittance of guilt, misuse of public funds (your salaries) an apology, a commitment to retraining or resignation is also required as corruption was never part of your job description.

Thankyou,

T. Benseman

Note that the testing of honey in this study was done when jam baits were used for 1080. This is no longer done.

Actually, 1080 was still being found in honeycomb in 2003 and 2004, 9 years after 1080 jam was banned. For evidence of this, see Landcare toxicology lab report numbers T1843 and T1837. 3 honeycomb samples tested, all had 1080. No jam. 1080 is a problem in honey. Bees were seen and photographed drinking 1080 tainted blood from dead cows nostrils at Mapara in 2018.

Your information is years out of date and has been superseded by more recent 2012 field research which is summarised by Dr Penny Fisher in Landcare Fact Sheet 10 '1080 and Bees'.

Yeah I have read that, it says if you see green dye in your hives you should contact MPI to test for poison.??? Wow. Most beekeepers don't even check, they just look down from the top, see capped honey and throw it on the production line. And 2012? So out of date. Bees were photographed feeding on the bloody noses of 1080-killed cattle at Mapara South Road on the 14th of September 2018. Thats 6 years more up to date than your info. Maybe you need to open your eyes, and your mind, to what is really going on here.
