 newspaper reporter for six years, and would be happy to donate some time to
 the BEE cause, if Dave will allow me to rearrange (not re-write) what he
 wrote. Then whoever is in a similarly threatened area can send this to the
 newspapers. I can't guaranteed articles, but I can help increase the chance
 they'll use it, and if they use it, your chances of saving your hives will
 increase. >>
 
     Thanks Cecile for your support and for your idea of news stories.  These
could help a lot.
 
     Anyone who wants additional materials may also want to see the letter
about Beekeepers' Neighborhood Watches, I've sent to applicators and
advisors.
 
  Let me know by e-mail, if you want a copy. (At the risk of sounding stupid:
Don't hit the reply button!)
 
   PS:  We are busy right now trying to deal with a major pesticide hit on
our pollination bees.  125 hives involved.....hit by one of our own
clients...... dead bees all over the ground.....a clear cut label
violation..... a real messy situation.....more details later.
