Dear sir,
I don't think a kind suggestion should get so much bad words!!!!!
China is one of the main countries in apiculture but now more than half
of her bees are Italian bees. We accept Italian bees for their characters
are suitable to our conditions. I don't think all the products from a third
world country inferior to that of a developed country but most of you
gentlemen have this thought. You just mean all the dirty were from poorer
countries and ignore the facts the health conditions are being stressed
in our countries and all the living things that imported and exported
should pass a strict examination.
I don't want to waste too much time but have to say something.
