I thank all who responded to me personally, re-inforcing my request that
we may need be a little more sensitive to the volume of messages that we
receive. If 20 people respond on the Net to a question, that is about 8000
messages on BEE-L participants' computers around the world.
But please don't read me wrong on this issue. I really like the
"chatter" and even liked some of the messages relative to use of beeswax.
Let me provide an example:
One recipient suggested coating rodent traps in beeswax. I can put that
idea to good use, since I sell fruit at the local Farmer's Market. A real
plague for growers like myself are black rats (roof rats) who can do away
with a remarkable amount of fruit if left alone (damage if not outright
loss). Furthermore, these rats skillfully avoid snap traps and
conventional bait. Rats can be a real plague in beekeeping operations.
---- Thus here we have a suggestion that should appeal to beekeepers
worldwide; hence, its suitability for posting on the Net.
I hope the above clarifies my position.
Adrian
