Bob, I truly envy American beekeepers the choices you have available.
Reading the ABJ each month for me, is like having my face pressed against
the window of a tuck shop without being able to go inside.

Sadly, the Irish Government prohibits the importation of bees. But I am ever
hopeful that someday this will change, as change it surely must.

Bob, you are absolutely right in what you say, but meantime I must soldier
on with FGMO without the benefits of American beekeeping technology.
