Mark has added ordinary beekeepers to the end of the line. In fact it is a matrix. The horizontal axis differentiates beekeepers according to their aims. The vertical axis whether they are ordinary or extra-ordinary. Ordinarily beekeepers accept things passively as they are. The extraordinary people in society are those who do not accept inadequacy or wrong-doing and work for change. Abraham Lincoln, Florence Nightingale, Mrs Pankhurst and Winston Churchill were all extraordinary. In beekeeping, so were Langstroth, A I Root and the founders of ESHPA in the US, and Thomas Cowan and the others who founded the British Beekeepers Association in 1874 in UK.
Instituting a reformed system for public support of beekeeping in NYS will evidently require someone extraordinary around which can form a group of other extraordinary people. Sometimes 'the moment makest the man' - but one can never rely on that completely. All those who wish to contribute have somehow to make themselves known.
