>The fact that bee programs are considered in the plant division in the USA and Canada is immaterial to the definition. We agree about what you said. The question is " under what regulations are Bees treated?". This is important for beekeepers to know in case if they are audited or investigated. Beekeepers should be clear of what is required from them to do under the regulations. Medhat Medhat Nasr, Ph. D.
