Guest Provincial Apiarist: Paul van Westendorp

Item is a recording of a meeting of the Shuswap Beekeepers Association held at Salmon Arm, BC on February 21, 1991. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss nine questions posed to all BCHPA Divisions, Associations, and other BC beekeepers by the BCHPA Bee Act Committee. The Committee was struck as an informal group to assist in the formulation and direction of revisions to be applied to the BC Bee Act by the Ministry. The recording begins mid-discussion at the start of side 1. In addition to input from Paul van Westendorp, the BC Provincial Apiarist, questions and comments arise from the members as the discussion around the nine questions ensues. Questions and concerns raised by the audience are not always fully clear, but van Westendorp's responses are. There is also the occasional sound of movement and disruption to the recording mic. The meeting adjourns halfway through side 1, and the recording cuts to a presentation by van Westendorp on tracheal mites and the BC Policy on Movement of Bees as they pertain to the question of quarantine areas, a question posed by the Bee Act Committee. Van Westendorp takes questions from the audience, and his talk continues onto side 2. The talk comes to a close approximately 2 minutes before the end of the second side. A summary of the Association's decisions on the nine questions are included on the file.

Boone Hodgson Wilkinson Trust Fund records

Sub-series comprises records relating to the history, development, and administration of the Boone Hodgson Wilkinson Trust Fund. The BHW Trust Fund was established by BC Provincial Apiarist John Corner at the BCHPA's annual general meeting in 1965. The aim of the Fund was to provide opportunities for the study of apiculture at BC post-secondary institutions. The Trust was named for Harvey Boone, Percy Hodgson, and George Wilkinson, who had each contributed significantly to apiculture and beekeepers in BC. All three men, along with Leo Fuhr of Vernon, were appointed by BCHPA members as the first trustees of the Fund. The aims of the BHW Trust Fund have ultimately grown to include not only the support of apiculture education, but research as well. Records include correspondence, proposals, reports, financial statements, and supporting documents.
