William - have you thought of pointing out to your Agriculture
Department the damage that will have been caused to the farming industry
there if all the bees have been killed?  Better still, get some of the
farmers to do so!  You are 'just a moaning bee-keeper', but farmers are food
producers and *taxpayers*!
