Bill:
 
I suggest that you sacrifice a couple of hives using a
Roman Type Catapult to see if you can hit a couple
of those cruddy spray planes.
 
Seriously .......
 
For those of you who have faith that the human race
is superior to all other life forms, I submit this malathion
spraying as contrary evidence.
 
A few years ago they sprayed this area with some substance
like malathion that wiped out bees, bumblebees and all other
soft and hard bodied types of minature life. We were assured
that this would not happen by the bureaucratic state
administrators.
 
To this day, I have not seen the restoration of the large numbers
of bumblebees that I used to see and 'hear' buzzing the many
blooming hydrangeas on my property.
 
I think I am beginning to sound like Andy :-) .
 
I sincerely hope that you don't lose many of your hives Bill !
 
Al,
