Dear All,

If I may be as so bold to point out that we are doing Apiculture a
disservice when referring to the Imidacloprid affair as "Mad Bee
Disease"etc.

The problem arises from Pesticide Intoxication and not a biological
vector of some sort; hence it is not a disease!

The public would view our problem in a totally different light if it was
explained as such - Our bees are being poisoned and are not sick.

Happy Christmas and a Gaucho free New Year to all.

Peter
