Dennis, you encapsulated my philosophy of the [my] business.  Honey is
supposed to be "pure and natural"  It would not take long in this age of
cyancism to have the public believe otherwise.  For now, it is easy to place
the stigma on China, but would not take long to occur here once purity
testing takes place.  (And I am certain it will become SOP).

Morals aside, I strongly believe in genetics.  Natural selection, etc.  I
would rather have dead bees then poisoned honey.  I am building up slowly,
and hoping to use genetics to have 500 or so strong, natural hives.

I have recently gone with a few Cobey-Queens from Tim Arheit.  Seem to be
doing well, but there are a few months yet for the proof.  We also have been
working with the Purvis brothers.  Seems the only species Natural selection
has been stopped is with humans.  <<G>>
