Hi all:
Listened to Wayne Wehlings at ABF, had lunch with him. On top of
everything else, Homeland Security has been added to the hoops -- means you
may have to have a broker pickup the bees at the plane -- you're not going
to be able to drive your truck up to the plane. The licensed broker, who
has all of the clearances, etc. will have to go fetch. Up side, may
provide an additional bee-related job or two.
Ok, my suggestion to this list -- had a talk with some of the USDA
scientists -- they have restrictions on making statements on anything
political/legal. Ask a USDA scientist to show up in a pesticide
litigation, response will probably be no. Expect them to be advocates,
same. But, ask them a direct question or a copy of a paper, and they
can/should answer.
Sooo, since he made a presentation at ABF, someone from this list might ask
Wayne to respond to the questions raised here on this list. And, if he's
willing, he might post his PPT presentation. If his agency is not
willing/hasn't the space to post it, we will be glad to put it on our
academic web site for everyone -- but only with Wayne's permission.
Cheers
Jerry
