I am with Bill on this one. *Most* beekeepers are responsible. Many who do
not practice responsible beekeeping, would do so if they knew that some
portion of what they are doing was irresponsible.
One of the matters on top of my list of irresponsible behavior is
prophylactic treatment for AFB. Another is leaving mite strips in all
winter. Yet, NYS Apiary Inspectors tell beekeepers that they should do
both! Probably inspectors in some other states do that as well.
IMHO, we should be spending far more money than we are on education of
beekeepers, and far less on 'inspection'.
