Quoting directly what Aaron Morris stated:
 
"This is contrary to my understanding.  I recall reading (and my
recollection has been flawed in the past) in ABJ an article ...
All equipment is require to be free of honey, as the irradiation
causes the honey to boil...."
 
What Aaron Morris was quick to hop upon (and admittefly sometimes Aaron
Morris hops faster that he thinks) was the statement:
 
"Irradiation is just the same as getting your chest X-rayed."
 
Again quoting George Imirie (to whom I mean no disrespect, I am not
worthy to light his smoker), "Nothing could me further from the truth!"
 
My point was that irradiating bee hives entails a lot more gamma
radiation and a lot more time than an X-Ray at the doctor's office!
 
For George's sake (and my own defense) I will go through my back
volumes of ABJs to find the original article from Don Sandstrom to
see where I got the notion that the honey would boil, which I stated
before I posted it that my recollection may be flawed.  Aaron Morris
doesn't claim to know it all!
 
Quoting again from George,

Agreed!  The point of my post was that it's time for regulations to
come up to date with technology!  Why burn when you can nuke!
 
Aaron Morris - thinking I may be turning into Bob Dole!
