Hi Bob & all

I was not indicating that they were in any way 'new', but that the page I
have put up (for public record purposes) is not as complete and informative
as I would like it to be.

Beekeeping info on the net, comes in all degrees of accuracy and prejudice,
in some instances, minority views are put more effectively and strongly than
they merit. I defend the right of individuals to publish their own ideas,
but I try to maintain honest and accurate reporting, regardless of the
novelty or otherwise of the information.

In the case of the Chinese strips... This was my first opportunity to take
photographs.

Perhaps you would share some of your concerns with the list? I am quite
prepared to be shocked, I too, have seen and heard many things that I do not
agree with :-)
