"But commercial beekeepers especially have their own brand of lawlessness
..."

Fact is, all uses on US honeybees is illegal, so all those honey producers
calling foul about chinese imports should really put a sock in it.  As a
regulator, it is totally uncomfortable to hear this publicized as if it is
not an issue.  For what its worth; just because everyone does it, and it is
legal on both sides of the border, doesn't mean anything in the US.

On the other hand, survival is a serious driving force.

And I find it totally ironic that an illegal pesticide will develop
resistance in our US honeybee population.
