Hi to all,
Many individuals have commented on the fact that the reasons behind the
recent
french beekeepers demonstration were only on the net in French - a
problem!

I have at last managed to find time to translate into English - It makes

explains why we are fighting for the removal of the molecule
Imidacloprid from the market.

This problem will not remain in the backyard of other beekeepers, as
many others are now
experiencing what we had several years back.
