2024 Presented Resolutions

Resolution 1:

Whereas the OBA has been dealing with stagnating revenue from membership numbers which is the primary funding for the association as a whole, 

and Whereas a higher income for the association would allow for improved funding to programs and assistance that is vital to the Ontario honeybee industry, 

Be it Resolved that a committee be formed to consider a restructuring of the membership platform to a tiered format for the purpose of encouraging members with higher hive counts to contribute more to the association, 

Further be it Resolved that this committee discuss what benefits be given to each tier to incentivize current and new members to register with the association.

Resolution 2:

Whereas the commercial beekeeping community represents a large percentage of Ontario's colony count and is vitally important to the overall beekeeping industry in Ontario

and Whereas past commercial roundtables have allowed productive face to face discussions on issues relevant to the commercial industry.

Be it Resolved that the Ontario Beekeeper's Association make it standard that a commercial beekeeper's roundtable be held during the time frame of the AGM that encourages the largest number of commercial beekeepers to be able to attend.
