>> We often forget that the behavioural requirements and financial interests of breeders, queen producers, package producers, >>commercial beekeepers , hobbyists, and other interested groups are all different and sometimes in direct conflict.
>>Maybe to some it might seem the same, but there are deeper implications..
The implications of that are extremely deep and widespread, and obvious here. We have some that thin Sculletta and letting bees be bees is the right thing, and those of us who view it as a business.
We see the same thing in almost all areas of conservation. Take the wolves in Wisconsin for example.
In bees, its deeper than that. The only things actually driving the bee industry at all anymore is number one, AG use. (food security) and secondly the same hobby people who seem to want to berate the pros for ruining the product. Sugar production (honey) is now a simple commodity or import for the large scale discussion.
Where do we go as an industry when we have this scenario? Some of the ideas presented this week alone are pretty far out for any sort of commercial applications.
