>The petition is real, the arguments are fake.

I've seen this petition in some emails that have been circulating like a
chain letter, this morning received an email from Brushy Mountain Bee Farm
with a link to the petition.  I was surprised to see a major supplier take
such a stand.

Even if I supported the cause I would not sign such a petition that requires
an email address, fearing that I'd end up on unwanted mailing lists.
