Hmm. That seems to be it in a nutshell. That, and beekeepers that wish to
forbid many conventional beekeeping practices whether actually harmful or
not. Going backwards is not really a sensible option. I don't like the
environmental effects of heating my house with oil -- but the alternative,
burn wood, is probably worse for the environment. Plus, in a few short years
my four acre lot wouldn't have any more trees on it. The answer to today's
problems is in the future, not the past.
