From my perspective, I think Peter has done a very good job of "making his case" wrt the anti-honeybee agenda of Xerces.

Since there is a lot of back and forth from those involved with the group, perhaps it would be good to get the perspective of those that both run the group, and are supported by the beekeeping community.

http://www.xerces.org/board-of-directors/
...lists May Berenbaum as president of the board of directors, and Marla Spivak as being a member of the board.  Given the support these two have from beekeepers, I don't think it inappropriate to "put them on the spot"....this would make a great article for one of the journals, imho.
