Bee L  is about debate and discussion,  while it does at times get heated,
most of the posters here know better than to take it personal.  If you take
debate to be personal,  then this may be the wrong place,  as most of the
people here will and can debate both sides of any issue.

Doing this without taking offense or making it personal is what keeps us
different than some of the other sites.
If you pick and chose the information given,  then your not here for
discussion,  just reaffirmation of what you already think.  Not why I read,
here or anywhere else.

Myself and others here have asked for the logic,  and so far on this topic
its still a bit nebulous.  We remain unconvinced.  Try making a point about
the topic  instead of attacking the posters personally is the goal.
Sometimes it fails,  sometimes people just choose to read it that way.

Making a point in text can sometimes be extremely difficult.  It makes it
more so when people want to take offense instead of discussing the facts.

Take your comments about  late Goldenrod for example,  how would scale hives
have changed the way those people managed those hives?  They had already
done what the ministry suggested.  What would a scale have solved that just
being observant didn't?? feel free to join the discussion.
