>These stories above show ways that individuals respond to change. Change
your product, move to a better area, go into another field. If the world
changes, we have to change with it.
I feel that at some point we need to draw a line. Taken to the extreme,
your suggestion would mean that no one should try to place an apiary in
Iowa or Illinois.
Rather than accepting this change, the change that I suggest is in the
pesticide regulatory system. I feel that we should stand up and say that
pesticide use in any large-scale agricultural system that cannot support a
population of resident pollinators is an "unreasonable adverse effect to
the environment."
