Also in attendance were Bill Spitz from the county's Office of Economic Development who oversees some of the county's local agricultural initiatives. Bill provided some helpful insight into other aspects of funding opportunities for KBee and the county.
Another surprise visitor was Coco Zickos from the Garden Island Newspaper. Her articles in the Sunday and Monday editions covered the meeting's highlights well. Mahalo Coco for the coverage and followup with Monsanto representatives. We'll see where the conversation takes us. We look forward to finding out more from our local seed farmers on how their operations impact bees foraging for food on Kauai.
We'll keep you posted on any developments as we engage with folks interested in keeping Kauai's bees clean. Here's a couple links that may help you understand what's going on with bee's around the globe.
