  Well that's not true. I know Dean, and have talked with him about his 
filming incident. Dean told me that there were so many stingers in his 
sneakers that you couldn't tell what color they were. That's not a 
stinging incident? I work bees commercially every day except during the 
winter. I've never seen in 40 years of beekeeping, reorienting bees 
behave like that. And, by the way...were they reorienting to the black 
eye of the lens? That's a bit of a stretch Dee. And to claim, as you 
have before, that the pandemonium breaking out in your apiary was due to 
you not using smoke...and I heard you and Dean and Ramona claim just 
that...is absurd. I often go all day without using my smoker, even when 
manipulating huge, powerful colonies.

Sorry, but I was there when you all made the claims, and I heard Dean 
talk about all the stingers, and just want to make all the facts known. 
Removing the video from the internet, and claiming orientation flights 
is bogus and more false propaganda to support your agenda.

I'm sure you'll come up with something distorted and unreadable, to 
discredit what I'm saying, but I'm totally used to that.

> And as you explained about Dean here......he did good filming, but not as you evidewntly see it, for the bees though flying having to reorientate with fast whole yard divisions were NOT stinging......and jsut normal commercial doings for those that ARE commercial.
