Possible for you to get some more background on this story? As I pointed out,
perhaps not all the facts are known.

Talk to them? Hey, wow, I thought us South Africans were supposed to be ... you
know, ... sort of ... eh ... let's say trigger happy!

In the Beekeeping course we convene, I incorporate a formal Quality management
lecture. The point that they make in the lecture, is basically that prevention is
better than cure. A good lecture beforehand should reduce the interference. I
don't propose violent or scare tactics, just some positive adjustment to the
simple economics of productive work.

Murphy travels quite extensively!!

By the way, thank you very much for incorporating my particulars in the Home Page,
as well as the information on the course we provide. A most professional site and
lots of worthwhile input for growers and service providers.
As asked, perhaps we can get a bit more on the story under review, before we start
hauling out six-shooters and using them on each other instead of ... NO don't say
that!
