Like Kevin Parsons stated, let's not look to the Feds for the things we would like. The
best way is "done slowly" by our own means as you have stated Steve. I'm glad you
have started with your two hives. Next year you'll probably get a few more going from
swarms or splits. Make as much of your own equipment as you can. Get to know
another beekeeper so you can help each other out. When we are left to our own abilities,
we will always do better than any politician can do for us.
Remember to vote Nov. 5th.
