Yes, but maybe you can explain why a beekeeper would place his hives 
adjacent to a corn field, knowing they could get dusted?


OK, I suggest you come and find for me twenty or thirty sites within say 40 
miles, that are never near a corn field, never near a cotton field, never 
get any mosquito spraying, and are accessible year around (not bogging every 
time it rains), are reasonably safe from vandalism, are sheltered from 
winter winds, and have decent forage for the bees.

Oh, I see, you have a crystal ball, that identifies every spot that will be 
planted in corn during the coming year, as well as a copious bank account to 
move bees around without any remuneration for the move!

I suggest that you are too far removed now from the real world, when you 
make "blame the victim" comments like that.
