Dear Mr. Secretary,

    I read with awe that you are considering AB771 and that this issue was
not resolved a long time ago. It challenges credibility to think that the
welfare of honeybees, who have challenges enough, could possibly be
considered on a par with the finding of a few seeds in an orange. The
growers planned poorly, after being warned, and should harvest their well
deserved experience. Saving them from their own actions at the last moment
is as sensible as rushing in to save other businesses from failure   to
plan.

 

It goes past comprehension that anyone could claim the air around their
holdings, just because it is in their own best interests to do so. The bees
pre-existed the seedless oranges and their foraging habits were well known.
The honey and pollination that they provide for Ca. is more valuable than
all of the orange crops. Please decide in favor of the hard working bees and
beekeepers.
