Hi Bob

I didn't mean to nit-pick. There are some things that could have been
better stated though. I was left under the impression that the author
didn't know that Apis aren't native to the US, what with the statement that
wild flowers aren't seeding themselves the way they should. Many native
flowers have been seeding themselve far more than they should have during
the last couple centuries thanks to our friends, though I doubt there's
been any big harm. There was also hyperbole, I think bureaucrats are very
capable of doing much more harm that reducing funding for honey bees. To
say (I know he's just reporting the info he got from the beekeeper) that a
wild swarm will only last a year also is an stretch.

Again, sorry to nit-pick.

Very best

Tim Vaughan
