Hi Bob

I just read your article in the May ABJ. Correct me if I am wrong, but you
suggest that states where they find African bees should adopt Florida's
recommendations for bee yard locations.

Now I may agree with that, but according to my calculations, in order to
have a beeyard that is 1/4 of a mile from people or animals, you would need
160 acres (that is a square 1/2 mile wide, a circle would give a smaller number)

Maybe out west they have 160 acre plots laying about, but in Upstate NY,
that's considered a pretty good sized chunk of pasture.
