Our great Governor Wally Hickel of Alaska once stated to activist for Wolf
control measures " You can't just let nature run wild". So we have Wolf
control so we can have more Moose to hunt. Man becomes a part of nature. Is
man running wild? Nature bred bees and nature knows bees, maybe we should
give bees a chance.

To answer the question "Who's winning?", very few only those who gamble and
take risk.
