We just lost our county inspector last month.  Even after a letter  
writing campaign to save the position that costs tax payers a small  
sum of 6500.00 a year the best we could get from them is a "well,  
maybe our beekeepers can help foot some or all the bill and have not  
heard from them since".

The State of Ohio did away with their State Level program years ago,  
requiring counties to fund them.

I think this will become a common occurrence across the country as  
local governments, offices, and universities continue to make cuts.

I'll have six yards this year.  As a result of all these cuts I will  
be sending my registration forms in this year with no money attached  
and include a letter that says "When you get an inspector I'll start  
paying a registration fee."

Have a good weekend folks!
