I appreciate that there are those on this list - we might say dominate this 
list - who make or have made their full-time living from honey production 
(and/or pollination) and that they might have their own values. 

I don't know exactly what is the status of each contributor to this list, but I think it's a pretty good mix. We have commercial, non-commercial, retired, semi-retired, researchers, conservationists, and profligate disseminationists. That's why I have stayed tuned all these years; this group is not slanted like so many others. Diverse opinions are welcomed and credentials are not routinely held under glaring light. We have had such luminaries as Ed Southwick, Adrian Wenner, Medhat Nasr, and many others as regular or occasional contributors. May the members of the list live long and prosper!

I take the trouble to protest against these assumptions, because they are not merely harmless fancies, but theories that are apt to paralyse action and encourage scientific indolence. -- James Crichton-Browne
