Hello to All,

Like Bob Harrison I too have been searching for truly what’s happening in 
the almond orchards of California. I have discovered  several facts some 
obvious some hidden between the lines.  There is one thing that perhaps I 
can help the readers of this List and that is if your bees are inspected 
by a County Inspector there must be a detailed record of the inspection on 
file in the County Commissioner’s office. Also County Inspectors DO NOT do 
anything other than inspect hives as asked. County Inspectors WILL NOT 
combine nor manipulate hives. County Inspectors must identify themselves 
as same. Any beekeeper in the groves has the right to dispute a private 
inspector’s assessment and request an inspection by a County Inspector. 
Furthermore an inspection by any private inspector must also be signed and 
accountable; otherwise you are being hoodwinked.

Cheers,
