You clearly haven't read closely my articles in the American Bee Journal,
nor have you followed my posts here. I consider chemical free beekeeping a
goal, not a religion. I also consider the definition of what is and what
isn't a chemical to be nearly useless. Furthermore, I consider this to be an
ongoing discussion, not a matter of taking a stand one way or the other. I
find that it is much better to keep an open mind than to exclude other
points of view.
