> You know Aaron, I don’t think it’s “noise” at all! I don’t really know exactly what you consider “ noise” but what I hear is an outcry!!  A Company using every little resource they can for money.  I don’t give “rats behind” what they put in dog food or cat food!  Honey bees do not eat blood, period!  You and I and every beekeeper knows that. OTHER bees eat blood, and WE eat blood ( maybe I’ll become a vegetarian now) but you cannot compare bees with people, as you know.  It doesn’t take science to step over a line of what is good for our bees and what image beekeepers have with the public, our customers.
